Much has been written, in recent years, on what it is to be an
adult diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
(AD/HD). Whether interested in diagnostics, treatment,
socialization, self-help, or the history of AD/HD, informative and
insightful literature abounds. With publication of Navigating the
Glass Maze, Tad A. Vogl, Ed.D. takes the reader on a somewhat
different journey. Dual-diagnosed with AD/HD and
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in his early thirties, Dr. Vogl
initiated a series of interviews with four individual graduate
students of adult education - all of whom spent many years
struggling with undiagnosed AD/HD.
Out of respect for his readership, and in deference to his
phenomenological research method, Dr. Vogl has prefaced all
interviews and analysis with a candid autobiographical portrait of
his own troubles and triumphs with formal learning. Beyond the
author's humility, what makes Navigating the Glass Maze especially
poignant is the depth of resiliency and insight that Dr. Vogl and
each of his informants possess. Through their scholarly investment
in adult education, their shared commitment to critical
self-examination and a willingness to tell their stories, both
plainly and honesty, a compelling and forward-thinking look at
AD/HD in higher education has emerged.
