Women with attention deficit disorder

Sari Solden

"In this pioneering exploration of ADD, Sari Solden combines real-life histories and treatment experiences with the latest clinical research to create a new screening checklist specifically for women. She highlights the special challenges women with ADD face, describes what to look for and what to look out for in treatment and counseling, and outlines empowering steps that women living with ADD may use to change their lives." "Solden poignantly depicts the shame many women experience as they find themselves unable to live up to expectations ingrained early in life. Through exercises, self-talk, and client stories, she helps women dismantle their self-images as "slobs" or "space cadets" and enjoy success on their own terms."--Jacket.
