5.0 out of 5 stars helpful in understanding how &why i function as i do, November 10, 2002
i found this book to be extremely helpful. everything i've read deals with what makes someone add and ways to deal with add (ie. meds and orginational skills). being that i was only 17 when i first read it, i did not apply it to any kind of romantic relationship but to realtionships with my parents and my friends. more importantly it made me very aware of some the bad, hurtful habits i have (like interupting) that i didn't even relieze 1)that i was doing it and 2) that they might really be hurting people and my relationships with them.

5.0 out of 5 stars ADD & Romance: A Great Job Tackling a Tough Topic, February 16, 2000
By Roland Rotz (Santa Barbara, California) - See all my reviews
Jonathan Halverstadt reaches deep to address a very difficult subject. Following an overview of how ADD plays out in relationships, he quickly moves to areas we often prefer to not think about: How can someone with ADD possibly be responsible and accountable in their relationships. Using many examples to address these issues in sensitive and practical terms from the ADD and non-ADD partner perspective, he covers many strategies that range from medication to therapy to practical hints. Most valuable is his understanding of what it takes to turn a relationship around and make it thrive! This should be the textbook used in your next class.

5.0 out of 5 stars A. D. D. & Romance by Jonathan Halverstadt, February 22, 2000
ADD & Romance is one of the best ADD books that I have ever read. Like anyone with ADD, I had to read it three to be able to remember it but that is me not the book because it was well written. The suggestions in the books have had a very positive on my life and marriage. It is a must read for anyone with ADD and anyone thinking of marring someone with ADD.
