This is an excellent resource for helping married couples gain a new perspective of how ADD affects their relationship. Going through the workbook was like going through the story of my life. I could identify with how my ADD had unknowingly deteriorated my nine-year marriage to the point of separation. The author has ADD himself and offers very helpful and sound advice in an ADD-friendly format. I could relate to just about every situation that is encountered in a relationship and take action. This workbook has been indispensable in helping repair my relationship. This is a must-have book.

Michael Bell's book, "You, Your Relationship & Your ADD" is a very well-written workbook that mental health professionals will find to be a useful adjunct to treatment of persons with ADD. In this era of managed care, it is critical to assign homework outside the therapy session in order to gain the most benefit from treatment. This workbook will provide the structure necessary to enhance couple's therapy or for spouses with ADD who are in individual therapy who are interested in focusing on relationship issues. This book will aid couple's in treatment to identify issues in their relationship, prioritize them, and to address these issues in a direct manner to prevent further harm in their marriage as a result of symptoms of ADD. The many exercises that are included in this book permits couples to tackle their joint concerns in a planful, systematic manner, which should prevent them from the common problem involved in undertaking multiple relationship issues simultaneously.
I highly recommend this book to couples who are willing to take a serious look at their behavioral patterns and to develop a plan of corrective action!

Michael Bell has written a much needed resource and workbook for couples struggling with the difficulties of attention deficit spectrum disorders. This workbook is full of helpful strategies that will enable intimate partners understand and negotiate the confusion of ADD---- highly recommended--

This a great resource for couples who are dealing with AD/HD. The book is full of great tools and exercises to help both the ADD and non-ADD partners in many areas of their realationship. The book is also very "ADD Friendly".

This book is great for couples to sit down and look at each aspect of their ADD affected relationship, and work out written exercises in the book so they can make changes together to help the person in the relationship with ADD.
