À propos de cet audio

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • The breakthrough guide to understanding, treating, and healing attention deficit disorder, from renowned mental health expert and speaker, Dr. Gabor Maté.

With a new preface by the author.

From the bestselling author of When the Body Says No and The Myth of Normal, 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 it, Maté, who himself is diagnosed with ADD:

• Demonstrates that the condition is not a genetic "illness" but a response to environmental stress, and how "distractibility" is the psychological product of life experience;
• Explains how ADD/ADHD can arise when circuits in the brain whose job is emotional self-regulation and attention control can fail to develop in infancy—and why;
• Allows parents to understand what makes their children with ADD/ADHD tick, and helps adults with ADD/ADHD gain insights into their emotions and behaviours;
• Expresses optimism about neurological development even in adulthood;
• Presents a program of how to promote this development in both children and adults

…and much more.

Maté gives voice to the painful realities of ADD/ADHD and its effect on children as well as on careers and social paths in adults. Moving beyond "genetic risk," he focuses 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 someone diagnosed with ADD and as the parent of three diagnosed children.

Providing a thorough overview of ADD/ADHD and its treatments, Scattered Minds is essential and life-changing for parents and the millions of diagnosed adults in North America today.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Maté—has done us a great service.—He tells those of us who do not have ADD—what it is like to have [it]. Those with ADD, their loved ones and physicians will profit from reading this book. People who do not yet know they have it will have their lives transformed."—Canadian Medical Association Journal

"One of the most comprehensive and accessible books about ADD. [A] well-documented but sure to be controversial book."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"[A] rare and—richly textured explanation of the complex and subtle interactions of nature and nurture in the developing personality. You won't find a drug chart or Seven Easy Steps to the Road Less Scattered here. You will find family stories, an accessible description of brain development and sound information. You will also find hope."—The Globe and Mail

Canadian author, Gabor Maté did such an amazing job with this book with his take on the true roots of ADHD. There was so much deeper thinking and reflection as I listened to this books on my walks. So many considerations that I hadn't thought that deeply before as a person with ADHD, myself, and who grew up with a mother who has Schizophrenia.

One of the most Insightful Books on ADHD.

Very insightful book! Not only helpful to understand ADD but also critical for parents to learn how to nurture their children.

Not just a parenting book

I'm not even done the book yet, but it has validated so many of my thoughts, theories, worries, fears. It has given me hope and helped reduce my anxiety. Chapter 18 is where it really hit home for me and my relationship with myself and my daughter. I have a long road of healing ahead of me but I look forward to every moment of improving my "emotional pain tolerance", moods, and the "me" I know I can be.

I'm pretty sure this book saved my life...

It was an enlightening listen as my adult son is seeking help with ADD/ADHD. It was an eye opener in regards to struggles my children are facing and have faced. I wish I had this information as a young parent. So glad to see my daughter embracing parenting of her daughter in such a wonderful way. So proud of my son for seeking the answers he needs from professionals.

There is help!

I appreciate that he comes from a personal perspective. Most of what he says makes a lot of sense. I have not been diagnosed myself, but this book points out some things I can work on.

Very helpful perspective

This is an excellent read for parents of children with ADHD and those looking to understand their own ADHD minds alike. Offering as much by way of scientific education as it does narrative entertainment, it's easy to see why this book maintains its best seller status year over year.

compassionate, educational, and vulnerable

thankful to read this soon after the birth of my son. if there is a way to prevent adhd or make it not as severe as my own at least I have the tools and knowledge of what an attachment and an attachment disorder are now. I was skeptical of Gabor Mates approach as its completely different of my current understanding of adhd. There is definitely something of substance there and I invite other adhers to open up their minds to what he has to say. He may have nailed the origen of tge disorder, and it may not be genetic, more like generational trauma being raised the same way for generations.
