In this breakthrough guide to understanding, treating, and healing Attention Deficit Disorder, Dr. Gabor Maté, an adult with ADD and the father of three ADD children, shared the latest information on: ·         The external factors that trigger ADD ·         How to create an environment that promotes health and healing ·         Ritalin and other drugs ·         ADD adults …and much moreAttention Deficit Disorder (ADD) has quickly become a controversial topic in recent years. Whereas other books on the subject describe the condition as inherited, Dr. Maté believes that our social and emotional environments play a key role in both the cause of and cure for this condition. In Scattered, he describes the painful realities of ADD and its effect on children as well as on career and social paths in adults. While acknowledging that genetics may indeed play a part in predisposing a person toward ADD, Dr. Maté moves beyond that to focus on the things we can control: changes in environment, family dynamics, and parenting choices. He draws heavily on his own experience with the disorder, as both an ADD sufferer and the parent of three diagnosed children. Providing a thorough overview of ADD and its treatments, Scattered is essential and life-changing reading for the millions of ADD sufferers in North America today.

Mate begins with the statement that ADD is “…defined by three major features, any two of which suffice for the diagnosis: poor attention skills, deficient impulse control, and hyperactivity.” There is no specific citation here to justify this claim, but assuming it is generally agreed that this is true, what makes up the body of the book are dozens of portrayals of random characteristics which Mate identifies as those attributable to ADD. In what might be considered typical ADD fashion, there is no ordered attempt to associate these characteristics directly with the major features in his original definition, despite the cleverly titled chapters (or maybe because of them.)Nowhere does Mate suggest that a diagnosis of ADD would necessitate a preponderance of these characteristics, or conversely, that taken individually, these characteristics might be diagnosed as some other disorder, or even (God forbid) as a relatively natural response to the stressors of the world we live in. Mate defines these “hallmark” characteristics of ADD in absolutes, rendering many of his conclusions not only inaccurate, but irresponsible. His leaps of logic, and lack of hard evidence or citations (other than general lists at the end of the book) are maddening, and some scientific “evidence” was misrepresented (see other reviews.)I have lived for 30 years with an ADD husband and his daughter, abandoned by her mother before the age of two. Both were diagnosed by psychiatrists (not family practice physicians, as is Mate.) Some of the behaviors which Mate describes are recognizable in one of them, but not the other; some cannot be seen in either; some are issues for both.Mate’s hypothesis that ADD is the result as much of nurture as nature is enlightened, as we now know nature and nurture together are responsible for all the positive and difficult aspects of our physical and emotional health. Though we may be born with a proclivity for a disease or disorder, we do not have to open those genetic envelopes. So I applaud Mate for making this point, and taking the inevitability out of the ADD equation.But he severely undermines any positive take-away on this score by focusing on the role of early childhood trauma in bringing about ADD behaviors, and placing the responsibility solely on the shoulders of mothers. This blame is not only unhelpful, but downright detrimental to ADD mothers everywhere who often feel overwhelmed and abandoned in the face of it. The weight of this finger-pointing is countered with almost NO help at all, as he offers nothing more than the same suggestions which may be found in any of the hundreds of pop-psych magazine articles that are published in any given month.I’d suggest skipping this book and reading Hallowell or Thomas E. Brown instead. IMHO This book belongs in the ever-growing category of self-help books written by doctors - whom we are wont to trust - out to make a name for themselves from insufficiently substantiated theories. Just the sorts of distractions that render us “Scattered.”
