1) Paperback Book Healing ADD: The Breakthrough Program That Allows You to See and Heal the 6 Types of ADD by Berkley Trade. For any parent struggling with their child´s ADD or ADHD, this book is a Godsend. It takes great pains to differentiate between the six types of this disorder and then provides concrete steps to help you develop a game plan to deal with your child´s particular issues. It really is incredible.¤

2) Paperback Book Healing ADD: The Breakthrough Program That Allows You to See and Heal the 6 Types of ADD by Berkley Trade. Amen´s book on ADD coupled to SPEC scans makes for some interesting reading. I´m not really sure that a simple SPEC scan and some drugs can solve all the problems he claims he can solve. The brain is not as easily described by simple colors from a $3000+ scan.

Of course, a Kindle has no color! Given that 20% of the book consists of COLOR SPEC scans where the various colors are important I have no idea what the publisher was thinking when they published this book for the Kindle. Buy the book on the Kindle if you must but you´ll be sorry. The Kindle version of this book is a waste of money in my opinion.

3) Paperback Book Healing ADD: The Breakthrough Program That Allows You to See and Heal the 6 Types of ADD by Berkley Trade. The book is readable and informative, but needs to be taken with a grain of salt. The practise discussed is not widely accepted and the author can make money from new converts.¤

4) Paperback Book Healing ADD: The Breakthrough Program That Allows You to See and Heal the 6 Types of ADD by Berkley Trade. This is one of the best books I´ve read on ADD. Unfortunately the advice for treating ADD is a little vague and contrite. But considering the books that are out there, this was still the best I´ve found yet.¤

5) Paperback Book Healing ADD: The Breakthrough Program That Allows You to See and Heal the 6 Types of ADD by Berkley Trade. In his book HEALING ADD, Dr. Amen tells of how he got into the practice of working with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) patients, and he shares his insights into this condition.

Most authors of ADD books describe it as one condition, or perhaps two types of conditions. Dr. Amen, on the other hand, breaks it down into six different types of disorders and how they affect the patient and those around the patient (a questionnaire that both the individual and someone close to the individual take helps one determine which of the six types of ADD a person may have).

Dr. Amen shows how he has used SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) x-rays to show activity in the brain so that the type of ADD a patient has can be determined. Then, he tells how treatments are based on repeated visits by his patients and adjustments in treatments over several weeks and months.

For me, as someone who has been around people with ADD, this book has given me a greater understanding into this condition. It is not a "how to treat" book, as much as it is a book that explains conditions that contribute to ADD. It has helped me deal with others who have ADD and has made me realize that there are some solutions out there to this condition.

There are a myriad of books on ADD offering treatment suggestions, strategies for handling ADD children, etc. This book helped me understand this condition better than any other I have read on the subject.¤

6) Paperback Book Healing ADD: The Breakthrough Program That Allows You to See and Heal the 6 Types of ADD by Berkley Trade. Using breakthrough diagnostic techniques, Dr. Daniel Amen has discovered that there are six distinct types of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), each requiring a different treatment. With recommendations for prescription drugs, nutraceutical therapy, cognitive reprogramming, parenting and educational strategies, biofeedback, self-hypnosis and more, this revolutionary approach can lead sufferers of ADD to a normal, fully-functional life.¤

7) Paperback Book Healing ADD: The Breakthrough Program That Allows You to See and Heal the 6 Types of ADD by Berkley Trade. Hard, visual data make a compelling case for the existence of attention deficit disorder (ADD) in this pioneering work by Daniel G. Amen, M.D. Using a nuclear medicine technique called "single photon emission computed tomography" (SPECT)--a controversial step, according to some of his peers--Dr. Amen scans patients´ brains to identify various abnormalities. From more than 8,000 such studies and more than 12,000 patient evaluations, Dr. Amen concludes that six--not the formerly presumed two--different types of ADD exist. This book encompasses the full spectrum of Dr. Amen´s work: from symptom identification to clinical evaluation, to diet and medication recommendations, to everyday strategies for living with ADD (whether the reader is a parent of an ADD child, or has been diagnosed with the disease.)

No stranger to the skepticism surrounding this topic, Dr. Amen begins with a list of dead-on myths (including "ADD is overdiagnosed") and surprising facts ("Many people with ADD are never hyperactive"). From this intriguing beginning flows a highly readable chapter on the signs and manifestations of ADD in all ages. Dr. Amen´s full description of SPECT imaging includes multiple brain scan photos that nicely support his theories. But the most satisfying element of this well-researched presentation occurs in the final half of the book; here, Amen thoroughly explores the biological (diet, exercise, medication), psychological (from personal coaching to psychotherapy), and social support (parenting and school strategies) needed to heal each type of ADD. This book will prove a valuable tool for parents, adult sufferers, and medical professionals seeking practical support for managing this increasingly recognized condition. --Liane Thomas¤
