Review Advance praise for Delivered from
Distraction
“Delivered from Distraction is just
what it promises.
In this remarkable volume, Ned Hallowell and John Ratey
bring the latest information on ADD to homes and hearts everywhere,
conveying the burgeoning scientific information with humor, hope, and
clarity.
As the authors point out, ADD needn't be a sentence to secondhand
status. The ADDer who hearkens to their sage and practical whole-life
advice will make the most of his or her talents.
This book is certain to
be a classic for the next decade.” –PETER S. JENSEN, M.D.,
Ruane Professor of Child Psychiatry, director, Center for the Advancement
of Children’s Mental Health, Columbia University/New York State
Psychiatric Institute
“If you read only one book about
attention deficit disorder, it should be Delivered from Distraction.
No two
psychiatrists in America have thought more deeply about ADD than Ned
Hallowell and John Ratey, and no one writes about it with more feeling,
understanding, and accuracy.
Most important, Hallowell and Ratey share
their wisdom about living a good life with ADD. What an optimistic and
helpful book!” –MICHAEL THOMPSON, PH.D., New York Times
bestselling co-author of Raising Cain
“Edward Hallowell has
written a comprehensive, easy-to-understand book on ADD. This is clearly
the definitive source of information on Attention Deficit Disorder.”
–HAROLD S. KOPLEWICZ, M.D., Arnold and Debbie Simon Professor of
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, director, Child Study Center, New York
University School of Medicine
“A deeply wise and truly
helpful book, written with frankness, humor, and tremendous empathy.
As a
pediatrician, I have been recommending Driven to Distraction to parents
for many years, and this new book brings the reader fully up to date in a
rapidly changing field, combining the important information about the
science and treatment of ADD with powerful advice about getting through
life, succeeding in life, and enjoying life.” –PERRI KLASS,
M.D., author of Quirky Kids
“What is unique and particularly
valuable in Hallowell and Ratey’s approach is the hopeful message,
insistently repeated, that ‘at the heart of ADD lies a bonanza of
wonderful qualities,’ and that in treatment, these strengths and
talents can and should be identified and developed.”
–CHARLES MAGRAW, M.D., past president, Boston Psychoanalytic
Society and Institute
