* Notes:
- Throughout this page, when I refer to ADD I mean
both with and without hyperactivity.
- When alphabetizing this
list, the following terms at the beginning of a
book's title are treated as being identical:
ADD, ADHD, Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. These books are all
grouped in the same section -- apart from the rest of
the "A"s. I have found that in looking for books I
will confuse these, so having it this way would make
it easier for me to use this list. Hopefully it
will make it easier for you as well.
- Some of the links here take you to more
information on this page. Others take you to other
longer pages on this site. Still others take you
directly to the descriptions at Amazon.com. These will
change until eventually most will refer you to other
pages on this site where you can learn more about the
books. Any prices marked are list approximations, if
they are wrong, please let me know!
(see note on
alphabetical strategy) (ADD -
all books that start with "ADD","ADHD","Attention
Deficit Disorder" or "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder")

Bowman and Susan Burgess / 1996 This book gathers

the reader.
Thom Hartmann comments: an anthology of discussions
and writings culled from the ADD Forum on CompuServe,
which I run along with some of the people in the book.
Contributors to this book (and the discussions)
include Russell Barkley, Edward Hallowell, John Ratey,
Carla Nelson, and many others, not a "book by Thom
Hartmann." I wrote only one chapter for it (a summary
of my Hunter/Farmer theory). It includes a broad
overview of perspectives and opinions about ADD. It's
broad, diverse, and provides an excellent insight into
the many different ways to view and treat ADD.

teams with a neurologist to help parents understand
hyperactivity, review the treatments available, and
provide tools to help children channel their energy
and develop into successful adults.
