Attention Deficit Disorder

"INNOVATIVE & FRESH."--Dr. Edward Hallowell, Author of DRIVEN TO DISTRACTION. "IF YOU WANT AN INSIDE VIEW OF HOW ADD PERSONS THINK & FUNCTION IN SOCIETY, YOU SHOULD BUY & READ THIS BOOK."--Dr. Dirk Huttenbach, Specialist in Child & Adult ADD. "OFFERS NEW OPTIONS FOR PLANNING, INTERVENTION & RESEARCH, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO PARENTS & EDUCATORS."--Jack Neerinex, Ph.D. Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD (also known as hyperactivity) affects millions of Americans & causes many of them to fail -- first in school, then later in life. The "disorder" is characterized by impulsiveness & the inability to concentrate on "boring" tasks. The perception that people grew out of it when they reached adolescence has changed dramatically in the past few years as adult ADD has not only been diagnosed, but has been estimated to affect as many as 20 percent of all adults. This book takes a unique look at ADD, suggesting that it is not really a disease or psychiatric illness, but people with ADD may be creative & successful when their talents & skills are properly directed. ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER - A DIFFERENT PERCEPTION is clearly written, & gives practical advice & specific techniques for understanding & dealing with ADD.
