Product Description
Review
"Tuckman has authored a state of the art volume deftly blending science and clinical experience to provide a reasoned, reasonable and eminently useful treatment guide for adult ADHD. He writes from a strong scientific and clinical framework." --Sam Goldstein, PhD, research professor of psychology, George Mason University
Product Description
The only book on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity (ADHD) written in a structure that caters to ADHD sufferers' tendency to jump around, this essential guidebook begins with a detailed diagnosis of ADHD, reviews the history of the disorder and its symptoms, and provides clear, evidence-based treatments. Revealing medications for controlling symptoms and exploring psychosocial skills that can help adults with ADHD better manage and organise their lives, the resource provides an extensive collection of practical strategies to overcome common struggles in the areas of self-esteem, work, relationships, friendships, parenting, and everyday life. A thorough explanation of both standard treatment options - including medication, therapy, and coaching - and alternative treatments helps guise adults with ADHD to the right health care providers and emphasises why it is so important to ensure that their health care professionals are familiar with the disorder. Brief, ADHD-friendly articles can stand alone or be read in sequence, and those who choose to read it out of order will appreciate the unique physical format's perforated page corners that can be torn off to indicate an article was read.

The best and dare I say the only book you will need to buy on adult ADHD.,
By
This review is from: More Attention, Less Deficit: Success Strategies for Adults with ADHD (Paperback)
I have read a whole heap of books on ADHD since being diagnosed and none of them have ever given me what I wanted. They tend to focus on case studies of suffers, lack information for adults with ADHD, have too much information on what to do if you think you might have ADHD, be outdated, focus on pseudo-science/'natural remedies', contain loads of fluffy talk such as 'ADHD is really a gift' and they quite often lack any real helpful information on what you can do to begin to address the issues that you're faced with as an adult with ADHD. More Attention, Less Deficit is very different.Dr Tuckman's book is split up into 4 sections: 'Understanding ADHD in adults', 'Start with effective treatment', 'Build the necessary skills' and 'Improve specific areas of your life'. The book is wonderfully accessible and it's designed to be read however you like - you can read it right through or just dip into it when you want to read about a particular topic. Personally I read it right through, but I still find myself dipping into it all the time as I try to put new skills into action or try and remind myself where I went wrong. If you want a concise, up to date, accessible and authoritative book explaining what adult ADHD is, how to live with it and that is packed with scientifically sound information (rather than dodgy new age weirdness)then look no further. If you're like me and struggle with reading anyway don't waste any time or money on any other book. Once you have read and adsorbed this one any further information you could possibly want is on the web anyway.

My favourite ADHD book!,
By
This review is from: More Attention, Less Deficit: Success Strategies for Adults with ADHD (Paperback)
I absolutely love the way this book is written with ADHD readers in mind - sounds so obvious, but a great many books are not! I have ADHD myself, and struggle to maintain both attention and interest when faced with unbroken pages full of densely worded text - but this book isn't like that. Most paragraphs are relatively short - but even better, not only is the book divided up into sections and chapters, it is also then subdivided into Articles (189 of them!) on various subjects - thus giving bite-size chunks of information, and the ability to easily dip in and out of the book as you wish!I bought the Kindle version - which I highly recommend, and as it gives me even smaller and easily readable blocks of text - but the original print version looks excellent too, and I am sorely tempted to buy a copy to leave lying around, in the hope that my family will read it and gain a little more insight into why I behave as I do! (The first chapter, on Executive Functions would be fantastic for this!)
