 Strongly recommend this book October 17, 2008
I got this book after seeing Dr. Amen on PBS - the book is very good. He does a great job with the diagnosis of each type of ADD. My son, who is 12, has alwasy been distracted more so than hyper but very oppostional - to find out that there are different "types" or ways ADD manifests with different people was refreshing - you understand more why one medicine works better for some kids better than others. This book is filled with useful scientific info to give you a better understanding of ADD (specifically which you may have) and Dr. Amen's preferred treatment of each.
A fantastic resource for ADHD August 29, 2008
For any parent struggling with their child's ADD or ADHD, this book is a Godsend. It takes great pains to differentiate between the six types of this disorder and then provides concrete steps to help you develop a game plan to deal with your child's particular issues. It really is incredible.

Amen's book on ADD coupled to SPEC scans makes for some interesting reading. I'm not really sure that a simple SPEC scan and some drugs can solve all the problems he claims he can solve. The brain is not as easily described by simple colors from a $3000+ scan.
Of course, a Kindle has no color! Given that 20% of the book consists of COLOR SPEC scans where the various colors are important I have no idea what the publisher was thinking when they published this book for the Kindle. Buy the book on the Kindle if you must but you'll be sorry. The Kindle version of this book is a waste of money in my opinion.
Useful but... April 16, 2008

The book is readable and informative, but needs to be taken with a grain of salt. The practise discussed is not widely accepted and the author can make money from new converts.

This is one of the best books I've read on ADD. Unfortunately the advice for treating ADD is a little vague and contrite. But considering the books that are out there, this was still the best I've found yet.
