Om den här titeln
 New York Times bestseller!

From renowned mental health expert and speaker Dr. Gabor Maté, Scattered Minds explodes the myth of attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD) as genetically based—and offers real hope and advice for children and adults who live with the condition.

In this breakthrough guide to understanding, treating, and healing Attention Deficit Disorder, Dr. Gabor Maté, bestselling author of The Myth of Normal, and himself diagnosed with ADD:

  • Demonstrates that the condition is not a genetic “illness” but a response to environmental stress
  • 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 behaviors
  • Expresses optimism about neurological development even in adulthood
  • Presents a program of how to promote this development in both children and adults

Whereas other books on the subject describe the condition as inherited, Dr. Maté believes that our social and emotional environments play a key role in both the cause of and cure for this condition. In Scattered Minds, he describes the painful realities of ADD and its effect on children as well as on career and social paths in adults.

While acknowledging that genetics may indeed play a part in predisposing a person toward ADD, Dr. Maté moves beyond that to focus on the things we can control: changes in environment, family dynamics, and parenting choices. He draws heavily on his own experience with the disorder, as both an ADD sufferer and the parent of diagnosed children. Providing a thorough overview of ADD and its treatments, without blaming anyone, Scattered Minds is essential and life-changing reading for the millions of ADD sufferers in North America today.

"One of the most comprehensive and accessible books about ADD... challenges many accepted notions about the condition." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Based on solid research and a strong humanistic sensibility... written with humor and compassion, from an unsparingly honest personal perspective."
—John J. Ratey, M.D., coauthor of Driven to Distraction

Ich erziehe einen 13-jährigen Jungen mit ADS. Durch die beginnende Pubertät hat sich sein Zustand soweit verschlimmert, dass wir uns ernsthaft mit dem Thema ADS auseinandersetzen müssen. Dr. Mate erklärt in seinem Buch sehr anschaulich, wie es überhaupt zu AD(H)S kommen kann und wie man damit am besten umgeht. Für mich ein Grundlagenwerk zum Thema.

Sehr aufschlussreich

The most helpful and detailed book on neurodiversity I've seen so far. Very deep and well-rounded picture of what ADHD is about,. When talking about coping the focus is more on the strategy than the tactics, which some other books on the topic tend to focus on.

Outstanding

A wake-up call for those who have been told that medication is the only way out. Also, an interesting view on what possible reasons for ADD (with or without the „H“) may be. There’s too little education out there on this topic, so too many rely on a single doctor’s verdict and mainstream media. Unfortunately, thinking is difficult that’s way many people choose the easy way out and judge others for their behavior or needs.

A different perspective on ADD

Ich habe mich und meine Familie in allem wiedergefunden. Unglaublich bereichernd und gleichzeitig so bedeutsam für jede Person, denn ADS tritt so oft auf, dass wir es kaum glauben. Eine große Empfehlung!

Mindblowing
