Book Reviews of Driven To Distraction : Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood Through Adulthood
Book Review: If you ever wondered
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a very enlightening book and a must read for students of psychology or for the instinctivly curious about ones self. I think down deep we are aware that we may have this syndrome in ourselves as well as in family members and it is an epiphany to see the condition put into words. It is an easy read in plainspeak without all the psycho babble that some knowledgeable authors try to impress us with. I have recommended it to all of my children, to put into words what their Dad has lived with his whole life and struggled to cope and compensate for. It is also intended for them to see something in themselves between the pages of this excellent work.Book Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
Every parent should read this book. Even if there is no possibility of ADHD in your family it will help you recognize children and adults who may have it and allow you to be a bit more understanding of difficult behavior.Book Review: It was okay.
Summary: 3 Stars
I read the book from front to back. It was pretty good, but I needed something dealing more with my child. It just didn't provide the information I was looking for.Book Review: Useful book for spouse of ADD adult
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very informative book which focuses on case studies of clients the author has seen in his practise. As the spouse of someone with ADD it was helpful to see others with similar traits. Book Review: Love it, hard to get into at first-- but I have ADD
Summary: 5 Stars
Once you can get past the fact that the book is written like a narrative and not an outline you really get a lot out of it. Written by a ADD person, it is very understanding and compassionate. Helped clear up years of frustration. Also has great tips and resources, although for my older copy these were a little dated. (Still I don't feel like I missed out.)
