Synopsis

Over 200,000 copies of Attention Deficit Disorder in Adults, 3rd edition, have been sold. Since its last revision, dozens of new treatments and philosophies about ADD and ADHD have met with storms of controversy and great media attention. Time and again, Lynn Weiss cuts through the noise and gets down to the point in a human, caring, and professional way. People turn to the Weiss library for a breath of fresh air on the ADD turmoil.

This workbook not only touches on and dispels the most recent clinical findings, but it also emphasizes the bigger perspective, focusing on the empowerment and diversity issues facing all of us on the A.D.D. continuum today. It persuades readers to work through their challenges with practical, prescriptive exercises and insights.
