Scattered Minds explodes the myth of attention deficit disorder as
genetically based - and offers real hope and advice for children
and adults who live with the condition. Gabor Mate is a revered
physician who specializes in neurology, psychiatry and psychology -
and himself has ADD. With wisdom gained through years of medical
practice and research, Scattered Minds is a must-read for parents -
and for anyone interested how experiences in infancy shape the
biology and psychology of the human brain. Scattered Minds: -
Demonstrates that ADD is not an inherited illness, but a reversible
impairment and developmental delay - Explains that in ADD, circuits
in the brain whose job is emotional self-regulation and attention
control fail to develop in infancy - and why - Shows how
'distractibility' is the psychological product of life experience -
Allows parents to understand what makes their ADD children tick,
and adults with ADD to gain insights into their emotions and
behaviours - Expresses optimism about neurological development even
in adulthood - Presents a programme of how to promote this
development in both children and adults
