This book may save marriages that would ordinarily end in divorce and will create happier, healthier loves for couples who previously felt dstined to live together in misery. This book is unique in several ways: * It gives specific healing techniques for overcoming the emotional gap subsequent to ADD. * Dr. Amen shares the existence of ADD within his own experience, bringing both a professional and personal knowledge of the disorder. * It focuses on the repercussions of those who love someone with ADD. * It provides the help you need to keep your family together in a healthy way, which encourages growth rather than turmoil.

Dr. Amen "GETS" Adult ADHD:

I read this book years ago, in its original printing, and find it as helpful today as I did then.
Amen acknowledges--and offers strategies for addressing--"intimacy" issues that few other clinicians know to even ask about! Especially if they thinkt ADHD is just about having trouble with paperwork at the office or being "creative." :-0
So, granted, this is not a foundational book on ADHD, but it's the one you read when you want more in-depth help on intimacy issues (meaning...SEX). Keep in mind,... more info

Great help!:

If you have Healing ADD it's far better! Then you likely may not need this unless you want a far more summarized book.:

First off this book isn't cheap! And no marketplace buyers help with that either! Those with ADD and those who are close to them may have enough ADD costs to deal with (More then most) So that is certainly not sweet. Can you relate!? The other ADD couple books are worse most likely but this one has very little new helpful info that a Healing ADD or General diagnosis type of book would have (With also a general love strong self help or two!)book minus maybe the organization chapter which is just plain weak... more info
