Dr. Wiener's brilliant and scholarly work presents the argument of the traditionalists' neurobiological delay model versus the alternative biopsychosocial model in the development and treatment of ADHD. He explains how the traditionalists' view of the cause of ADHD is strictly biological with the necessity for medicinal treatment(s). Whereas, the biopsychosocial model shows us how ADHD behaviors are socially reinforced. Through effort and relearning, Dr. Wiener shows us how we can reinforce non-ADHD behaviors by modeling compassion, listening skills, and mutual respect. We can encourage the development of self-reliance and collaboration through the Socratic method of learning. Dr. Wiener shows us the tremendous influence of biopsychosocial understanding on causes of and remedies for ADHD behaviors. Dr. Wiener shows us that by starting early with our children in teaching self-reliance, self-efficacy, collaboration and negotiating skills in positive, noncritical ways, our children will grow into satisfied, involved, high-achieving and independent adults. I believe his book teaches us all how to be civilized, one family at a time.
