Rid-A-Him or: Why Are So Many Boys Given Drugs in School? Chapter 4.
Mercogliano, Chris
SKOLE: The Journal of Alternative Education, v15 n3-4 p1-11 Fall-Win 1998
A chapter of a serialized book refutes the contention that attention-deficit disorder (ADD) is a genetically caused neurological disorder. It argues that ADD arises from the accumulation of risk factors in a child's life, such as poverty, father absence, environmental degradation, demise of extended families, and dysfunctional childrearing, which result from America's poor support of families.
