McGuinness, D. (1985) When Children Don’t Learn: Understanding the Biology and Psychology of Learning Disorders. Basic Books.
This is a wonderful book which clearly shows the fallacies of a "hyperactive syndrome." A thorough research review shows that "Essentially nothing has been found," and that "stimulant drugs have failed in all cases to effect any improvement in academic ability."
