Dr Gabor Maté is a revered physician and bestselling author who himself has attention deficit disorder (ADD). In Scattered Minds, he explores the myth of ADD as a genetically-based illness and offers real hope and advice for children and adults who live with the condition.

Demonstrating that ADD is not an inherited illness, but a reversible impairment and developmental delay, Scattered Minds enables parents to understand what makes their ADD children tick, and adults with ADD to gain insights into their emotions and behaviours.

With wisdom gained through years of medical practice and research, Scattered Minds is a must-read for parents - and for anyone interested in how experiences in infancy shape the biology and psychology of the human brain.
