ADHD on Trial
Praeger Publishers Inc (Verlag)
978-1-4408-3603-9 (ISBN)
Controversy fills these pages, from discussion of ADHD and the debate over its justifiability as a disability to public reactions regarding the ruling in Love's case and others. Comparisons and contrasts are also raised between the Love trial and earlier cases involving people claiming psychological disabilities who fought actions by The National Board of Medical Examiners, United Airlines, Toyota Motor Manufacturing, the Georgia State Board of Veterinary Medicine, and other organizations. Do the decisions help or harm disability rights and people with disabilities? Gordon offers the insights not only of a psychologist, but a seasoned legal insider who has testified as an expert witness at many of the trials.
Michael Gordon, PhD, is Chief Clinical Child Psychologist and Director of the ADHD Program in the Department of Psychiatry, at SUNY Upstate Medical University. He is also Director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Services, as well as a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry. He is Associate Editor for the journal, ADHD Report, and is a reviewer for the Journal of Learning Disabilities and the Journal of Attention Disorders. Gordon was presented with a Hall of Fame Award by CHADD, Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, a national support group for those with ADHD.
