From renowned mental health expert and speaker Dr. Gabor Maté, Scattered Minds explodes the myth of attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD) as genetically based??and offers real hope and advice for children and adults who live with the condition.

In this breakthrough guide to understanding, treating, and healing Attention Deficit Disorder, Dr. Gabor Maté, bestselling author of The Myth of Normal, and himself diagnosed with ADD:
  • Demonstrates that the condition is not a genetic ??illness? but a response to environmental stress
  • Explains that in ADD, circuits in the brain whose job is emotional self-regulation and attention control fail to develop in infancy ?? and why
  • Shows how ??distractibility?? is the psychological product of life experience
  • Allows parents to understand what makes their ADD children tick, and adults with ADD to gain insights into their emotions and behaviors
  • Expresses optimism about neurological development even in adulthood
  • Presents a program of how to promote this development in both children and adults

  • Whereas other books on the subject describe the condition as inherited, Dr. Maté believes that our social and emotional environments play a key role in both the cause of and cure for this condition. In Scattered Minds, he describes the painful realities of ADD and its effect on children as well as on career and social paths in adults.
    While acknowledging that genetics may indeed play a part in predisposing a person toward ADD, Dr. Maté moves beyond that to focus on the things we can control: changes in environment, family dynamics, and parenting choices. He draws heavily on his own experience with the disorder, as both an ADD sufferer and the parent of diagnosed children. Providing a thorough overview of ADD and its treatments, without blaming anyone, Scattered Minds is essential and life-changing reading for the millions of ADD suffe

    Challenging and inspiring

    This book is likely to be a tough read, both for parents and for ADHD adults who rely on the neurological explanation to understand their disorder. Maté is aware of and supportive of the role of neurological factors in ADHD and the use of drugs in treatment, but in this book he uses current research, his clinical practice and episodes in his own life to indicate how much else is going on.

    The book is tough for parents because it traces so much of the disorder to the relationship between the mothering figure and the infant in the first two years of life. Maté also indicates strategies for repair - both for children and for adults - is those first two years weren’t as attuned as May have been ideal for the child.

    I have a little frustration that the repair strategies for adults are fairly commonplace - I was hoping for something more unexpected, but that’s probably just magical thinking on my part. If I simply did all the things to help myself that I know I ought to do, he may we’ll be right that life would be very different.

    Strongly recommended to those dealing with ADHD in themselves and especially parents with ADHD kids. If you’re considering having kids, read this book!

    I know, I know. You're reconsidering your opinion of my mental abilities and private beliefs. Before you make a final decision, let me share a few experiences.

    1. Two parents that I know of, one extremely abusive, but neither with any sign of ADHD, who have 3 children with horrible ADHD and the other with major depression issues.

    2. A brother of mine who had terrible ADHD who is much much better after marrying a wonderful woman. He graduated with a 4-year college degree, holds down a solid job, has a career path planned, and manages several hefty side-responsibilities. And, yes, that is the only thing that changed.

    3. A friend who has rampant ADHD texted me once while she was crying, saying that all she wanted was a hug. I wasn't able to do anything, but suggested she ask her parents. "That's not something they do. I'd be embarrassed." she replied. Her parents weren't abusive. They just didn't speak her love language.

    4. A comment from my husband after we got married saying that, having grown up at the beginning of the YouTube age, he had "given himself mild ADHD."

    So Maté's book interested me. His thesis: genetics and childhood attachment both play a part in ADHD.

    Now, what you're all wondering, do I agree with him? I think that he needs more studies, more stats, etc. I also think, based on my experiences above, that his observations are intriguing. Also, it is good to remember that he never claims that healing attachment issues will completely heal ADHD. It won't, he says. But proper treatment and, sometimes therapy, will help heal the poor relational pathways that will make living with it much more joyful.

    Regardless of his thesis, this has fantastic sections on child development. He also does an amazing job of helping the average reader understand what living with ADHD is like(at least, from a long-term observer of people with ADHD, I think so. But I could be wrong). I also really liked his tips for teaching those with ADHD. His observations on guilt and anxiety were also really helpful. Even if you don't agree with his thesis, I think you'll find a lot here to help you understand what living with it is like. ( )

    I had some trouble with this because I felt like his fundemental reasoning (add being a byproduct of the mother/child attachment issues) was faulty but there were some good points along the way.

    J'ai acheté ce livre parce que je cherchais une solution à des manifestations de non-concentration chez l'aîné de mes enfants. Dans ces cas-là, les parents font quelques recherches sur internet, tombent sur des sites plus ou moins fiables, des forums, des conseils variés. Et puis ils tombent également sur cette formule curieuse dite "TDA" (trouble déficitaire de l'attention) qui a eu le mérite de susciter un vaste débat aux États-Unis et au Canada, surtout avec une option médicamenteuse tournant autour de l'utilisation de la Ritaline. Bref, de quoi s'interroger sur un phénomène courant mais avec le risque que l'on pose un regard trop médical sur ceux qui nous sont les plus chers.

    Alors je suis tombé sur ce livre du Dr Gabor Maté. Je ne peux pas dire qu'il se lise facilement. Il y a près de 400 pages très documentées et écrites dans un style très américain dont ne se défait pas la traduction. Quand je dis américain, c'est pour souligner ce goût des ouvrages techniques d'outre-Atlantique de multiplier à l'excès les exemples, de revenir dessus, au risque d'avoir une certaine répétition. Cela, c'est pour la forme et il faut tenir jusqu'au bout des 400 pages, ce qui m'a occupé plusieurs mois, heureusement pas de manière continue.

    Sur le fond, le Dr Mahé fait la part des choses. Les TDA sont décrits dans leurs symptômes, assez détaillés souvent. Ce qui m'a le plus frappé, c'est le rapport qu'il pouvait y avoir entre ces manifestations troublantes et le terrain social ou sociologique dans lesquelles elles prenaient racines. Bien souvent, les TDA ne sont que la traduction d'un manque de confiance et de regard empathique sur soi. Cela vaut pour l'enfant comme pour l'adulte. Le fait de projeter sur les enfants nos propres angoisses d'adultes, et bien souvent de manière inconsciente, favorise l'émergence des TDA. Alors bien entendu, il y a toujours les cas paroxystiques pour lesquels une approche progressive médicamenteuse peut être faite. Toutefois, la plupart des cas peuvent être convenablement traités par une approche psychologique, ou pédo-psychologique.

    Ce livre rassure et montre qu'il n'y a pas d'anormalité dans les troubles de l'attention. Pour mon cas personnel, j'ai pris conscience avant d'avoir fini ce livre, que mon propre comportement favorisait l'émergence d'angoisses chez mes enfants, angoisses débouchant sur un manque de concentration. En m'attaquant à la source, en prenant du recul par rapport à la pression scolaire, en acceptant mes enfants comme ils sont et pas comme je souhaiterais qu'ils soient, j'ai réussi à ce qu'ils soient plus concentrés. Cela s'est accompagné également par des méthodes de relaxation et de visualisation créatrice qui ont favorisé l'émergence de plus de concentration. Je n'ai fait usage d'aucun médicament mais cela prend plus de temps. Dans une société gérée par l'urgence et la culture du résultat, y compris à l'école, résister à la pression médicamenteuse réclame de la conviction et de l'accompagnement.
