Edward M. Hallowell Knihy

Pokud jste se na vlastní kůži setkali s nepřízní osudu, s neopětovaným nebo nenaplněným vztahem, s nemocí či ztrátou blízké osoby nebo jen tak si čas od času prožíváte smutek a marnost každodenního bytí a nevíte si s těmito pocity rady, pak byste si knihu amerického psychiatra dr. Edwarda M. Hallowella Lidské momenty určitě měli přečíst. Vedle příběhů ze života samotného autora, jeho přátel, spolupracovníků či pacientů, z nichž každý obsahuje oslavu obyčejných okamžiků lidství, v ní najdete stručným a nepatetickým způsobem popsaný návod, na co se zaměřit, aby život nejen tolik nebolel, ale abyste si mohli mnohem lépe vychutnat jeho dary.

O někom jste si mysleli, že je věčný popleta, nenechavec nebo nezdolný tvůrce, byť dosti nepředvídatelný, o jiném si říkáte, že by toho mohl hodně dokázat, kdyby "se dal trochu dohromady", o některých spolužácích si možná pamatujete, že věčně věků pobíhali po třídě a chvíli neposeděli. Ti všichni možná mají ADD. Je docela možné, že určité příznaky ADD objevíte i u sebe. Domnívám se, že nejvhodnější způsob, jak poznat ADD a proniknout do jeho podstaty, vychází z poznání, jak ADD ovlivňuje lidi, kteří touto poruchou trpí.

Všichni chceme svým dětem poskytnout dar celoživotní spokojenosti a štěstí. Edward M. Hallowell, otec tří dětí a klinický psychiatr, ve své knize nabízí plán, jak toho dosáhnout. K tomu, aby z vašeho dítěte vyrostl spokojený dospělý, je podle něj zapotřebí pět věcí: • vztahová propojenost • hra • nacvičování • dokonalé zvládnutí dovedností • uznání To jsou zásadní pojmy představující klíč k tomu, jak z dítěte vychovat zdravě sebevědomého, morálně uvědomělého a duševně bohatého jedince. Základem je samozřejmě bezpodmínečná rodičovská láska a pevné rodinné vazby. Dr. Hallowell napsal svou knihu s vřelostí přítele i autoritou odborníka. Jeho dílo, praktické a užitečné, je zároveň oslavou dětství a kouzla, které vzniká mezi milujícími rodiči a jejich dětmi.

“If you read only one book about attention deficit disorder, it should be Delivered from Distraction.” —Michael Thompson, Ph.D. In 1994, Driven to Distraction revolutionized the understanding of attention deficit disorder (ADD), selling over a million copies. Now, a second revolution is underway, with significant changes in drug therapies, dietary and exercise roles, and the definition of the disorder itself. Many adults remain undiagnosed and untreated, highlighting the need for updated insights. Drs. Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey expand on previous breakthroughs to provide a comprehensive guide to thriving with ADD. They argue that “attention deficit disorder” is a misleading term for a unique mindset characterized by originality, charisma, and energy. This book offers engaging discussions on various aspects of ADD, including diagnosis, treatment options, and how to harness inner strengths. Readers will learn about familial links, new diagnostic methods, connections to other conditions, and both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical therapies. Strategies for overcoming procrastination, clutter, and forgetfulness are also covered. Featuring inspiring patient profiles, this guide serves as a compassionate resource for those with ADD and their loved ones.
