Description
Dr. Gabor Maté's groundbreaking book Scattered Minds challenges the conventional understanding of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD). By exploring the condition's causes and effects, Maté offers a hopeful and practical guide for individuals and families affected by ADD.
The author, who has both personally experienced and studied the disorder, argues that ADD is not a fixed genetic condition, but rather a response to environmental stress. He explains how early childhood experiences can impact the development of emotional self-regulation and attention control, leading to the characteristic symptoms of ADD.
Through his own experience and research, Maté provides a comprehensive understanding of ADD, its impact on children and adults alike, and a program for promoting neurological development and healing. This insightful and compassionate book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand and address ADD.
