“[Gabor Maté] challenges the standard view of ADD [and] asks questions that deserve to be considered about a debilitating disorder — and the kind of society in which it flourishes.”
Maclean’s
“Enlightening and sensitively told [with] a much needed focus on adults and adolescents with ADHD.… For someone who is wondering if their own lack of attention, impulsiveness, distractibility, or hyperactivity may be ADHD, this would be a good read.”
Winnipeg Free Press
“Scattered Minds comes across as a caring, sympathetic, supportive, and helpful introduction to the topic. It also benefits from being an extremely well-written and engaging read.”
The Georgia Straight
“This book will be equally at home on the physician’s bookshelf [and] in the home.”
The County Chronicle
“Scattered Minds [is] necessary reading for anyone who lives with the effects of ADD, in himself or in others; it’s an encouraging and reassuring approach.”
The Chronicle-Journal (Thunder Bay)
“This delightful, helpful book is a welcome addition to the literature on ADD. Based on solid research and a strong humanistic sensibility, it is written with humour and compassion, from an unsparingly honest personal perspective, I would enthusiastically recommend Scattered Minds to anyone touched by ADD — adults, parents, and professionals.”
