attention deficit disorder (ADD), will present two public lectures and
a day-long clinical seminar at the University on Sunday and Monday,

the diagnosis and treatment of attention deficit disorder, at noon and

scans and ADD.
     "A Clinician's Guide to Understanding and Treating Attention
Deficit Disorder" is the topic of Amen's seminar, scheduled to begin

     Designed for medical professionals, counselors, teachers,
therapists and others who deal with ADD, the seminar will address
current clinical and research issues regarding the disorder. Amen will
be drawing extensively from his own practice in his discussion and
also will present his research on the use of brain imaging as a means
of aiding clinical practice.
