Clinical psychology

The Barkley Adult ADHD Rating Scale--IV (BAARS-IV) offers an essential tool for assessing current ADHD symptoms and domains of impairment as well as recollections of childhood symptoms. Directly linked to DSM-IV diagnostic criteria, the scale includes both self-report and other-report forms (for example, spouse, parent, or sibling). Not only is the BAARS-IV empirically based, reliable, and valid, but it is also exceptionally convenient to use. Purchasers get a limited license to photocopy the scales and score sheets, yielding considerable cost savings over other available scales. The long version takes the average adult 5--7 minutes to complete; the Quick Screen takes only 3--5 minutes. Special features include a section of items assessing the newly identified symptoms of sluggish cognitive tempo, also known as the inattentive-only subtype of ADHD. This book will be invaluable to clinical and forensic psychologists; neuropsychologists; social workers; psychiatrists; primary care physicians; psychopathology researchers.

Reviews for Barkley Adult ADHD Rating Scale--IV (BAARS-IV), (Wire-Bound Paperback)

Barkley is one of the leading scientists in ADHD. With this rating scale, he continues to advance our scientific understanding of the assessment of this disorder. --Lenard Adler, MD, Department of Psychiatry and Director, Adult ADHD Program, New York University School of Medicine The BAARS-IV is a valuable addition to the assessment process for ADHD in adults. Barkley has created a valid and reliable tool that will greatly aid in the diagnostic and differential diagnostic process for ADHD. I will definitely include this current, comprehensive scale in my adult assessments, and I encourage other clinicians to do the same. --Sam Goldstein, PhD, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Attention Disorders Based on DSM-IV criteria, and normed on a large, representative sample of the adult population, the BAARS-IV will increase the reliability and validity of diagnoses of ADHD in adults. In addition to the self-reports of current and childhood symptoms, the BAARS-IV includes other-report forms and a quick screening tool. The development and validation of this scale and its presentation in the manual reflect Barkley's usual impeccable work and his extensive clinical and research experience with ADHD. --Mary V. Solanto, PhD, Department of Psychiatry and Director, ADHD Center, Mount Sinai School of Medicine
