Whereas other books on the subject describe the condition as inherited, Dr. Gabor Mate believes that our social and emotional environments play a key role in both the cause of and cure for this condition. In <i>Scattered</i>, he describes the painful realities of ADD and its effect on children as well as on career and social paths in adults. While acknowledging that genetics may indeed play a part in predisposing a person toward ADD, Dr. Mate moves beyond that to focus on the things we can control: changes in environment, family dynamics, and parenting choices. He draws heavily on his own experience with the disorder, as both an ADD sufferer and the parent of three diagnosed children. Providing a thorough overview of ADD and its treatments, <i>Scattered</i> is essential and life-changing reading for the millions of ADD sufferers in North America today. 182853 1999 Scattered: How Attention Deficit Disorder Originates And What You Can Do About It total:22|5:9|4:7|3:5|2:0|1:1| 22 89 39 6 5 0 false false Mon Feb 16 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 08:17:41 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 08:44:17 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Jul 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 06:23:55 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 05:45:48 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Sun Apr 06 20:43:24 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 06 20:44:19 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Sun Mar 16 13:18:51 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 16 13:25:55 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Apr 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 10 12:38:47 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 09 14:08:16 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Sun Mar 16 12:41:51 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 16 12:44:29 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Nov 20 10:50:38 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 10:50:55 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Fri Oct 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 17:09:58 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 17:16:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 27 12:11:15 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 12:11:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 14 13:22:39 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 13:22:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 08 21:43:13 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 21:43:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 28 12:26:06 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 12:26:24 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Aug 25 20:02:59 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 20:02:59 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Aug 21 19:59:03 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 19:59:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 17 18:00:23 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 18:00:23 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jul 07 11:27:02 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 11:27:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 16 12:54:33 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 12:54:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 25 14:20:03 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 14:20:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Apr 21 07:17:17 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 04 15:58:46 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue Mar 17 07:08:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 07:08:00 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=189146
