Drawing on his extensive experience as a physician specializing in neurology, psychiatry, and psychology – and his own lived experience with ADHD – Maté offers a compassionate and insightful perspective. He argues that ADD is a reversible impairment and developmental delay, rooted in how early life experiences, particularly in infancy, shape the biology and psychology of the human brain. This book explores how circuits responsible for emotional self-regulation and attention control can fail to develop adequately, and how 'distractibility' emerges as a psychological product of life experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eScattered Minds\u003c\/em\u003e provides invaluable insights for both parents and adults navigating ADHD. Dr. Maté helps parents understand the unique dynamics of their children with ADD, while adults with the condition can gain profound insights into their own emotions and behaviors. The book expresses optimism about the potential for neurological development even in adulthood, presenting a practical program to foster this growth in both children and adults. It's an essential read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of attention difficulties and a path towards greater self-awareness and development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gabor Mate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penguin Random House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback, 348 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781785042218\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrder from BookClub.com.mt — Malta and Gozo's online bookstore.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":54219060445517,"sku":"9781785042218","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3627\/5021\/files\/81oyIDCQEvL._SY466.jpg?v=1783282105","url":"https:\/\/bookclub.com.mt\/products\/scattered-minds","provider":"BookClub.com.mt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
