A new understanding of ADD, along with practical information on how
to recognize and treat the disorder A leading expert in the
assessment and treatment of Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention
Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder dispels myths and offers reassuring,
practical information about treatments. Drawing on recent findings
in neuroscience and a rich variety of case studies from his own
clinical practive, Dr. Thomas E. Brown describes what ADD syndrome
is, how it can be recognized at different ages, and how it can best
be treated.This is the first book to address the perplexing
question about ADD: how can individuals, some very bright, be
chronically unable to "pay attention," yet be able to focus very
well on specific tasks that strongly interest them? Dr. Brown
disputes the "willpower" explanation and explains how inherited
malfunctions of the brain's management system prevent some people
from being able to deal adequately with challenging tasks of
childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. His book is an authoritative
and practical guide for physicians and psychologists, parents and
teachers, and the 7 to 9 percent of persons who suffer from
ADD/ADHD.
