Book Reviews of Attention Deficit Disorder in Adults, 4th Edition: A Different Way of Thinking

Book Review: Stuart Smalley on ADD
Summary: 2 Stars

Based on the description and reviews I expected a science based education on the subject of Adult ADD from a medically trained expert. Instead, I found a book written by a self made expert with little medical background. The book is more a Stuart Smalley like collection of affirmations designed to make people with ADD feel good about themselves but doing little to overcome the difficulties created by ADD. The author's perspective on ADD is based on her "beliefs" about what ADD is and how best to treat it. I could find little scientific evidence cited to back up her assertions.

If you are looking for a book to tell you that there's nothing wrong with you and that all of your problems are due to the rest of the world trying to force their way of thinking on you then buy this book. But if you want to understand what ADD is according to scientist and medical doctors and if you want to learn how to live with this condition in the real world then look elsewhere.

I know that it is in vogue right now to think of scientists and doctors as evil shills of BIG BUSINESS and to believe that we can learn all we need to know about the world by just getting in tune with nature and trusting our feelings, but I'll take evidence over instinct every day.
