About the Course

Through vivid stories of the experiences of their patients (both adults and children), Drs. Hallowell and Ratey show the varied forms ADD takes — from the hyperactive search for high stimulation to the floating inattention of daydreaming — and the transforming impact of precise diagnosis and treatment. this book is conversational in tone, encyclopedic in content, and best of all, grounded in clinical experience. It’s a rich resource with education, family perspectives, diagnosis and treatment, and subtypes.

This course is based on the cassette, Driven to Distraction: Recognizing and Coping With Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood Through Adulthood created by Hallowell, Edward, M.D., Ratey, John, M.D.
