Items related to Attention Deficit Disorder: A Different Perception
Synopsis
As many as 20 million Americans may have Attention Deficit Disorder. In this pioneering book, with sales of more than 100,000 copies, Thom Hartmann explains ADD from an evolutionary perspective, suggesting that the disorder really arises from roots as hunters in a hunting society. He offers a positive viewpoint, citing examples including ADD individuals who changed the world - people like Thomas Edison, Ernest Hemingway and Benjamin Franklin.

From the Author
The author, thom@cis.compuserve.com , 07/19/96: A positive look at ADD and a new theory of its origin... I wrote this book because when my son was diagnosed with ADD the psychologist told him he had a "damaged brain" and gave him a whole gloom-and-doom scenario. Having been the executive director of a residential treatment facility for kids, many of whom had ADD, I thought this was a pretty miserable way to portray ADD to anybody, particularly a child. In ADD:ADP, I present a "new view" of the origin of ADD -- that it's an adaptive mechanism passed down to us by our ancient "Hunter/Gatherer" ancestors. At first, I only meant this as a paradigm or metaphor, but as you'll find from reading this revised version, it is turning out to be good science as well. In the five years since the original version of this book came out, a number of important studies have shown that there is a basis in history and science for my theories. I hope you enjoy the book and look forward to hearing your responses to it,
