Stimulants and Hyperkinesis: Drug Use or Abuse?
Cole, Sherwood O.; Moore, Samuel F.
Journal of Drug Education, 5, 4, 371-378, 75
The use of stimulants in the treatment of hyperkinesis is discussed in terms of: (1) side effects and long-term consequences; (2) drugs as easy solutions to problems; and (3) the potential for abuse and addiction. This paper stresses the need for a more intelligent and restrained use of stimulants than has been practiced. (Author)
