Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Focusing on Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) as a life-long neurological problem that affects adults as well as children, this definitive book describes the various forms ADD takes, how professionals distinguish ADD patterns from "unacceptable" behavior, and how medication and behavior modification techniques can balance its negative and positive aspects.

Wise, practical, and reassuring....A must-read for anyone who knows, treats, or is an "underachiever" — in school or in life. Review:Peter D. Kramer, M.D.author of Listening to ProzacConversational in tone, encyclopedic in content, and, best of all, utterly convincing because of its grounding in clinical experience, Driven to Distraction should make Attention Deficit Disorder comprehensible even to the most distractible reader.
