Myths about Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder(ADD/ADHD)

abound. This disorder frequently goes unrecognized, and even when diagnosed may be

inadequately treated. In this up-to-date and clearly written book, a leading expert

offers a new way of understanding ADD. Drawing on recent findings in neuroscience and a

rich variety of case histories from his own clinical practice, 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.
