JOSSEY-BASS Smart But Stuck: Emotions in Teens and Adults with ADHD

My young adult son has ADHD and I bought this book because the title encapsulates his situation. He and I both read it, and both finished it feeling encouraged that things can get better. It didn't really give us practical tips. Very readable because it uses a format of patients' stories. The stories are all people who had enough money to have prolonged intensive one-to-one therapy with the author, who is a psychologist, so this aspect is of limited applicability, but it means the author got to know these individuals really well and gain insight into what is holding them back. We had both already read Delivered from Distraction and this book was a useful addition.

This book has given me a better idea how to help my ADHD son. Lots of valuable insight and techniques to use.

A very useful book.

good read
