Scattered Minds explodes the myth of attention deficit disorder as genetically based – and offers real hope and advice for children and adults who live with the condition.
Gabor Maté is a revered physician who specializes in neurology, psychiatry and psychology – and himself has ADD. With wisdom gained through years of medical practice and research, Scattered Mindsis a must-read for parents – and for anyone interested how experiences in infancy shape the biology and psychology of the human brain.
Scattered Minds:
- Demonstrates that ADD is not an inherited illness, but a reversible impairment and developmental delay;
- 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 behaviours;
- Expresses optimism about neurological development even in adulthood;
- Presents a programme of how to promote this development in both children and adults.
