“A long-awaited, comprehensive book on ADHD that goes beyond mere
clinical descriptions and background basic science to integrate the
latest clinical, neurobiological and neuro-imaging findings in a
manner which is both fascinating and persuasive. . . . This is an
essential book on ADHD. It encompasses a broader definition of the
disorder with an emphasis on cognitive, emotional and relational
difficulties alongside the classic attention/hyperactivity
symptoms.”—Dimitrios Paschos, International Journal of
Environmental Studies
“Brown’s book is thorough and compassionate. Consider it essential
reading if you are concerned about a child or an adult who may be
struggling with this syndrome.”—Mary Beth Regan, Baltimore Sun
“Highly readable. . . . Irrespective of which side of the debate
the reader champions, there’s little doubt that Brown makes a
compelling case.”—Tom Hodgkinson, The Lancet
“Compelling and accessible, offering sound, practical advice that
many parents will be thankful for.”—Junior Magazine

“Tom Brown has lived and breathed—and researched and pondered—ADD
for years, so it comes as no surprise that his new book is both
reliable and innovative; tested and testing; authoritative and
ground-breaking. This is a superb book. I recommend it
highly!”—Edward Hallowell, M.D., author of Delivered from
Distraction: Getting the Most Out of Life with ADD
“Dr. Brown has written an attractive and accessible account of the
way that some findings from psychological science can be applied to
understanding ADHD and its impact. People struggling with problems
of organising themselves and concentrating will find much here to
help them know and overcome their difficulties.”—Eric Taylor,
Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London
“While rooted in science, this book goes far beyond the typical
clinical explanations to get to the heart of the matter: living
with AD/HD. Real people living with AD/HD will understand and
embrace Dr. Brown’s ‘AD/HD Syndrome’ and identify themselves and
their loved ones on every page.”—Evelyn Polk Green, Attention
Deficit Disorder Association
“Dr. Brown gives us valuable glimpses into the lives of people
suffering from ADHD and explains the theory and science behind this
complex disorder and the impact it can have on the lives of
children, adolescents and adults. Readers will come away with new
insights and a treasure trove of essential strategies to
effectively manage ADHD and related conditions.”—Harvey C. Parker,
Ph.D., cofounder of CHADD and author of Problem Solver Guide for
Students with ADHD
“A timely, practical and much-needed text on a medical problem of
enormous importance heretofore clouded by public misconception,
scientific uncertainty and uninformed political debate. Brown
provides us with a welcome entry into a lucid empirical discussion
of the subject. His clinical rationale is exquisitely attuned to
both the critical assessment of statistical fact and the unique
human situation of each patient.”—Joaquín M. Fuster, University of
California, Los Angeles
