Editorial Reviews
Review
Great book! Better than any book Ive read, youve described the core phenomenology of ADD both from a behavioral and an experiential perspective. Well organized, the book offers very practical advise to those within the family/work nexus of an individual with ADD. An outstanding book that carefully balances in-depth observations about the varieties of experiences of those with ADD with essential psycho-educational material. R.K., Professor, Stanford University School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford, CA
After I was diagnosed with A.D.D., I read everything I could find on the subject.........Out of Chaos! was the only book that explained the stress this was bringing in my life. B.W.S., Kingsburg, CA -- From the publisher
