The A.D.D. Book by William Sears, M.D. and Lynda Thompson, Ph.D.

Attention deficit disorder--ADD--is best understood as a variation on normal patterns of behavior that is characterized by selective attention, distractibility, impulsivity, and often hyperactivity, all reflecting a child's inborn, neurologically based temperament. Sears and Thompson examine ADD behavior and treatments from a positive stance that emphasizes such qualities as creativity, spontaneity, tenacity, focus, and high energy, and that relies on neurofeedback, diet, and specific strategies for learning, organizing information, and studying as an alternative or supplement to medication. An estimated 20 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls have ADD. When the syndrome is not identified or treated, these children are increasingly at risk of academic difficulty, social conflict, tangles with the law, motor vehicle accidents, and divorce in their families. Sears and Thompson offer those dealing with ADD an effective choice for treatment in the newly acknowledged therapy of neurofeedback and a refreshingly positive, supportive way for such parents to contemplate their challenging children.

ADD: The 20-Hour Solution by Mark Steinberg, Siegfried Othmer

If you're frustrated by Attention Deficit Disorder and you want a better, longer-lasting solution than drugs, this is the book for you! ADD: The 20-Hour Solution explains how EEG biofeedback (neurofeedback) addresses the underlying problem and characteristics of ADD and ADHD, so that symptoms resolve and tangible improvement results. This book describes the method by which we can improve the brain's ability to pay attention and regulate its behavior. It explains the self-healing capacities of the human brain and how it can learn or re-learn the self-regulatory mechanisms that are basic to its normal design and function.

Carolyn Robertson is a certified Neurotherapist. She is not a licensed physician. EEG-Neurofeedback services are not licensed by the State of California and are considered alternative or complementary to healing arts services that are licensed by the State of California. EEG-Neurofeedback services involve learning to change your own behavior utilizing feedback to modify your brain wave patterns. That feedback is provided by equipment that monitors and shows brain wave activity. The theory of treatment of EEG-Neurofeedback services is based on 40 years of research conducted in university settings across the country and outside the United States. EEG-Neurofeedback is a combination of operant conditioning and biofeedback. Further explanation can be found on this website.
