Increasing interest is being shown in the condition known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Paul Cooper and Katherine Ideus describe ADHD and the way it is altering our views on emotional and behavioural difficulties. They trace its background, prevalence and current treatment and pose a number of significant questions for parents, educators and others. In particular, they are keen that educational and medical perspectives should not polarise on this issue and professionals should collaborate in seeking solutions.
