Millions of American children have been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and prescribed powerful drugs to manage their behavior. Yet while the number of children diagnosed with ADHD is increasing at an alarming rate, the science behind this so-called disorder is unraveling.
In The Diseasing of America's Children, popular family psychologist, speaker, and best-selling author John Rosemond joins with pediatrician Dr. Bose Ravenel to reveal the fallacy and pseudoscience behind ADHD and other childhood behavioral disorders. They show how certain professionals and pharmaceutical companies have allowed bad science to disease millions of children with these fictitious illnesses—and in the process have made an incredible amount of money.
In this book, Rosemond and Ravenel
The Diseasing of America's Children empowers parents to take back control of their children by recognizing the misinformation they have been given and applying a commonsense, traditional approach to managing their children's behavior problems. With candor and insight, Rosemond and Ravenel draw upon verifiable scientific research and their years of professional experience to outline proven parenting methods that will help even the most difficult children behave functionally at home and school—without medical intervention.
