Here's a quickie: I probably should know this, but I'm not a clinical or developmental psychologist and don't recall it written in "full" form... When "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder" is written, does/should it have a hyphen or slash between the AD and HD? Thanks for your help. ======================================================== Steven M. Specht, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Psychology Utica College Utica, NY 13502 (315) 792-3171 Hi Steven - The official DSM-IV form is Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. My sense after years of reading the literature indicates that this form, however, is probably the one used less frequently in peer-reviewed publications; more common usages are with hyphen, but no slash and no hyphen or slash. The subtypes studied are, however, provided explicitly in the papers' content. (No data on this.) =) ****************************************************** Sandra M.
