Attention, development, and environment
Gabor Maté’s book frames ADD/ADHD through the interplay of attention, emotional self-regulation, and life experience. It challenges a purely genetic explanation while acknowledging genetic predisposition, and places particular emphasis on social and emotional environments, family dynamics, and parenting choices. Maté draws on his own experience with ADD and on parenting children diagnosed with it. Alongside an overview of the condition and its treatments, the book discusses its effects on children and on adults’ work and social lives, and presents approaches intended to support neurological development in both children and adults.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Parents seeking a perspective on ADD/ADHD and family dynamics.
- Adults with ADD/ADHD interested in the book’s discussion of emotions, behavior, and adult life.
- Readers looking for a guide that connects ADD/ADHD with environmental and developmental factors.
