HTML:<b>From renowned mental health expert and speaker Dr. Gabor Maté, <i>Scattered Minds</i> explodes the myth of attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD) as genetically based—and offers real hope and advice for children and adults who live with the condition.</b><br /> In this breakthrough guide to understanding, treating, and healing Attention Deficit Disorder, Dr. Gabor Maté, bestselling author of <i>The Myth of Normal,</i> and himself diagnosed with ADD:<br /> <li>Demonstrates that the condition is not a genetic “illness” but a response to environmental stress</li> <li>Explains that in ADD, circuits in the brain whose job is emotional self-regulation and attention control fail to develop in infancy – and why</li> <li>Shows how ‘distractibility’ is the psychological product of life experience</li> <li>Allows parents to understand what makes their ADD children tick, and adults with ADD to gain insights into their emotions and behaviors</li> <li>Expresses optimism about neurological development even in adulthood</li> <li>Presents a program of how to promote this development in both children and adults</li><br /> Whereas other books on the subject describe the condition as inherited, Dr. Maté believes that our social and emotional environments play a key role in both the cause of and cure for this condition. In <i>Scattered Minds</i>, he describes the painful realities of ADD and its effect on children as well as on career and social paths in adults.<br /> While acknowledging that genetics may indeed play a part in predisposing a person toward ADD, Dr. Maté moves beyond that to focus on the things we can control: changes in environment, family dynamics, and parenting choices. He draws heavily on his own experience with the disorder, as both an ADD sufferer and the parent of diagnosed children. Providing a thorough overview of ADD and its treatments, without blaming anyone, <i>Scattered Minds</i> is essential and life-changing reading for the millions of ADD sufferers in North America today.
