“If you read only one book about attention deficit disorder, it should be Delivered from Distraction.” —Michael Thompson, Ph.D. In 1994, Driven to Distraction revolutionized the understanding of attention deficit disorder (ADD), selling over a million copies. Now, a second revolution is underway, with significant changes in drug therapies, dietary and exercise roles, and the definition of the disorder itself. Many adults remain undiagnosed and untreated, highlighting the need for updated insights. Drs. Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey expand on previous breakthroughs to provide a comprehensive guide to thriving with ADD. They argue that “attention deficit disorder” is a misleading term for a unique mindset characterized by originality, charisma, and energy. This book offers engaging discussions on various aspects of ADD, including diagnosis, treatment options, and how to harness inner strengths. Readers will learn about familial links, new diagnostic methods, connections to other conditions, and both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical therapies. Strategies for overcoming procrastination, clutter, and forgetfulness are also covered. Featuring inspiring patient profiles, this guide serves as a compassionate resource for those with ADD and their loved ones.

A new edition of an influential study of Attention Disorder, which argues that the condition is rooted in human evolution, includes new supporting evidence and reflects new advances in non-drug treatments. Original. 25,000 first printing. $25,000 ad/promo. Tour. IP.

It's never been easy to raise children, and arguably it's even more difficult now. In this measured and humane book Dr Edward Hallowell offers a sensible strategy for raising happy children. In his plan he has two primary goals for children: 1) that they develop a sense of 'connection' with those around them and 2) the development of a sense of mastery over one or more areas of their lives. When parents guide their children towards these goals, the outcome will be good. Other key issues he raises are: -Don't push your child too hard in school -High academic achievement has no correlation with happy adult life -Put your efforts into helping your child become good at something that will become a passionate involvement -Don't try to rush your child's development -Teach manners

Through vivid stories of the experiences of their patients (both adults and children), Drs. Hallowell and Ratey show the varied forms ADD takes -- from the hyperactive search for high stimulation to the floating inattention of daydreaming -- and the transforming impact of precise diagnosis and treatment.

A revolutionary new approach to ADD/ADHD featuring cutting-edge research and strategies to help readers thrive, by the bestselling authors of the seminal books Driven to Distraction and Delivered from Distraction.

With decades of experience working with ADD children, Dr. Edward Hallowell has long argued that ADD is too often misunderstood, mistreated, and mislabeled as a “disability.” Now he teams up with top academic ADD researcher Peter S. Jensen, M.D., to bring you an invaluable new approach to helping your ADD child. Superparenting for ADD offers a specific game plan including • UNCONDITIONAL LOVE Tune out the diagnosticians and simply nourish the spirit of your child for who he is. • VIEWING THE MIRROR TRAITS Recognize the positive sides of the negative symptoms associated with ADD: stubbornness = persistence; impulsiveness = creativity; intrusiveness = eagerness. • THE CYCLE OF EXCELLENCE Nurture an environment in which a child can safely take risks, reserve time to let a child dabble as a way to learn, encourage playful practice, support mastery of a skill, and then recognize a child’s accomplishments.

Pokud jste se na vlastní kůži setkali s nepřízní osudu, s neopětovaným nebo nenaplněným vztahem, s nemocí či ztrátou blízké osoby nebo jen tak si čas od času prožíváte smutek a marnost každodenního bytí a nevíte si s těmito pocity rady, pak byste si knihu amerického psychiatra dr. Edwarda M. Hallowella Lidské momenty určitě měli přečíst. Vedle příběhů ze života samotného autora, jeho přátel, spolupracovníků či pacientů, z nichž každý obsahuje oslavu obyčejných okamžiků lidství, v ní najdete stručným a nepatetickým způsobem popsaný návod, na co se zaměřit, aby život nejen tolik nebolel, ale abyste si mohli mnohem lépe vychutnat jeho dary.

O někom jste si mysleli, že je věčný popleta, nenechavec nebo nezdolný tvůrce, byť dosti nepředvídatelný, o jiném si říkáte, že by toho mohl hodně dokázat, kdyby "se dal trochu dohromady", o některých spolužácích si možná pamatujete, že věčně věků pobíhali po třídě a chvíli neposeděli. Ti všichni možná mají ADD. Je docela možné, že určité příznaky ADD objevíte i u sebe. Domnívám se, že nejvhodnější způsob, jak poznat ADD a proniknout do jeho podstaty, vychází z poznání, jak ADD ovlivňuje lidi, kteří touto poruchou trpí.

Základem je samozřejmě bezpodmínečná rodičovská láska a pevné rodinné vazby. Dr. Hallowell napsal svou knihu s vřelostí přítele i autoritou odborníka.
