1Praise for Scattered Minds
“[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.”
e Georgia Straight
“is book will be equally at home on the physician’s bookshelf [and]
in the home.”
e 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.”
e Chronicle-Journal (under Bay)
“is 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.”
Dr. John Ratey, co-author, Driven to Distraction and Shadow Syndromes
