"[A]n immensely useful, helpful book. . . . When I see clients who
are newly assessed with attention difficulties, and hesitant to try
medications, or who have tried it and found that they do not work,
or cannot be tolerated, it is useful to be able to steer them
towards this book."
*Metapsychology Online Reviews*
"This book is a winner! Gerbarg and Brown have written a lively,
well-researched, hugely needed book on treatments for ADHD that do
not involve the use of medication. The book is in no way
anti-medication, but rather addresses the enormous need for
reliable information as to what else people can try to help them
deal with ADHD. Written by two clinicians, the book is rooted in
real-life experience and is chock-full of vivid anecdotes as well
as many useful, succinct tables and lists."
*Edward Hallowell, MD, co-author of Driven to Distraction and
Delivered from Distraction*
"This book is a treasure for both healthcare professionals and the
general public. The easily-read text provides a careful review of
the research investigating complementary and alternative treatments
for ADHD. More importantly, the authors share their wealth of
clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of this common
and disabling disorder."
*Philip R. Muskin, MD, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry & Chief of
Service, Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, Columbia University
Medical Center*
"Gerbarg and Brown are a physician team who point the way for the
mental health professional of the future . . . accessible but
scholarly, redolent with care and compassion for their patients,
and a balanced, even-handed treatment of a difficult subject."
*Stephen Larsen, PhD, Psychology Professor Emeritus, SUNY;
Director, Stone Mountain Center; and author of The Healing Power of
Neurofeedback*
"This is the book I will recommend to my patients requesting
information on alternatives to medications in the treatment of
ADD/ADHD. There is something in here for everyone, from the
conscientious parent to the well-established practicing
psychiatrist. The resources section alone is worth the price of
this book. Gerbarg and Brown delve deeper into the core
dysfunctions of ADD/ADHD than is currently being taught in a
standard psychiatric education. Well-researched and
science-based."
*Lila Elizabeth Massoumi, MD, ABIHM, Chair, APA Caucus on
Complementary, Alternative, & Integrative Medicine (APACAIM), and
Chair, Dept of Psychiatry, Hurley Medical Center*
"This book inspired me with hope and encouraged and helped me to
capture the joy of living with people with ADHD. I hope it does the
same for you."
*Leslie Andrade, elementary school teacher and mother of a child
with ADHD*
