This is a marvelous book. It's
readable, full of real-world, useful
systems and techniques to heal from the
woundings of growing up with ADHD. This
is *not* the book that recommends
shooting up kids with expensive,
radioactive, cancer-causing substances to
"scan" their brains: that's a
later book by (oddly coincidentally) the
same title. Instead, this book by
groundbreaking author Hartmann provides
practical, solid, and effective ways to
resolve old wounds, set goals, enhance
communication, and understand ADD/ADHD in
a meaningful and useful and effective
way. You'll hear its story, see the
results immediately, and feel better for
having read it. It's useful for parents,
friends, spouses, therapists, and even
for self-help - things you can do
yourself, for yourself. I've used it, my
wife has, and we've used it's techniques
- particuarly those in the last chapter
on family communication - with our
family, with great results. Five stars -
this is one of the best books in the
market on ADD/ADHD and what you really
can do about it!

An extraordinary view of
NLP applied to ADHD, October 29, 2002
Reviewer:
A reader from Portland, OR
United States
This remarkable book not only offers
one of the most cogent insights into ADHD
(see the earlier long review a few back),
and does address "attention" at
length (in fact, it's all about how we
attend, and to what, and in what ways),
but it's also one of the best
introductions to the use of NLP as a way
of healing from the damage of growing up
a Hunter in a Farmer's world.
Filled with practical, real-world
exercises and techniques, Healing ADD
(this is the first book with that title)
really is about healing - coming to terms
with what ADHD means in this world,
learning new ways to function and
position yourself in the world, and
recovering from the traumas that
virtually every person with ADHD who was
subjected to public school carries.
This is a powerful book, with specific
tools and techniques, an extensive
discussion of how the ADHD attentional
mechanism is different and unique for
ADHD people, and one of the best
introductions to NeuroLinguistic
Programming (NLP) available, ADHD-context
or not. Highly recommended, whether
you've read the author's other books or
not!
