Every day across this great land of ours, children are swallowing pills for something called “Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.” This is still largely an American obsession, by the way—the United States spends several times as much on ADHD meds than all the rest of the world put together—although the rest of the world is catching up with us. The idea that millions of children—mostly boys—are walking around with defective brains that require them to ingest powerful psychotropic drugs every day of their lives in order to be able to cope with the quotidian tasks of childhood has become received wisdom. 
Once upon a time, the mass drugging of children was the subject of spirited debate, but that controversy seems for the most part to have died down. The goal of this book is to re-ignite that controversy. 
“This is an outstanding and painstakingly researched treatise on ADHD that clearly exposes the hazards waiting to destroy your child. It should be in every pediatrician’s office and in every graduate student’s library.” 
Michelle Barrett, M. Ed., Founder, Del Dios Counseling Services 
“The shocking story of psychiatry’s abandonment of scientific evidence... A must-read for anyone currently living with a diagnosis of ADHD.”

The book covers important topics in the psychiatric genetics (PG) field. Many of these have been overlooked in mainstream accounts, and many contemporary PG researchers have omitted or whitewashed the eugenic and "racial hygiene" origins of the field. The author critically analyzes PG evidence in support of genetic claims which, given the lack of gene discoveries, are based mainly on the results of psychiatric twin and adoption studies. Given that the evidence in favor of genetic influences is much weaker than mainstream sources report, due to serious issues in twin and adoption research, the author points to environmental factors, including trauma, as the main causes of conditions such as schizophrenia.
