Professor Stein’s research and writing focus upon the diagnosis and treatment of attention, behaviour, and motivation problems in children, and for over 25 years he has conducted workshops, which provide realistic and effective alternatives to prescribed drugs. He is also the author of ‘Talking Back to Ritalin.’
