ADD The 20-Hour Solution

I found this book, ADD The 20-Hour Solution, a clear and concise guide to understanding how the brain works and how EEG biofeedback can improve its behavior by self regulation. This book is written in a way that parents can understand not only what ADD is but how to approach it. Parents can learn from this book the questions they should ask and most importantly to take action themselves. I was amazed to find that ADD can be treated in your own home. As a mother and teacher, I wholly support self help solutions without drugs which are so often overlooked today. The case studies examined in this book give hope to any parent. I would do anything as a parent to help my child. If using a computer to train your brain works than that is what I would want for my child. This book is a must read for any parent that wants a solution to their frustration with an ADD child or for a parent that just wants more information about ADD. There is also a great Neurofeedback Practitioner Listing in the back of the book.

A welcome, alternative approach to treating ADD/ADHD

This book is an outstanding, articulate and heartwarming presentation of AD/HD and the problems it presents to those who have it and their families. More importantly, it also describes the frequently astonishingly successful impact of EEG biofeedback in treating the disorder. As a neuropsychologist who tested many children for learning and attention problems, I became very tired of being able to tell parents and kids WHY they were having troubles learning, getting along with peers and disrupting their families, without having better solutions to offer than a referral to a psychiatrist for medication--which, while helpful, does not always address the full extent of the problems and often has troubling side effects. I was amazed at the impact of neurofeedback when I finally explored it some ten years ago. It has taken over my practice to my immense delight. The changes in brain functioning neurofeedback results in provides the foundation upon which other therapies, education and sports performance training can build. For me it has resulted in a profound shift in the way in which I view "mental" and "emotional" problems--difficulties I had assumed were characterological (even AFTER being trained as a neuropsychologist), such as "laziness" or being "unmotivated", could frequently be eliminated after a few sessions. I believe that once the impact of EEG biofeedback is fully understood and accepted by psychology, medicine, education and the sports community, we will look back and see that our viewpoint on people and their potential is as different as the world appeared after Galileo looked at the night sky through his telescope and found that the earth circled the sun, rather than the other way around.Limitations in brain functioning which we mental health professionals have assumed were permanent are, in fact, trainable, and training results in enhanced performance on IQ tests as well as every other aspect of performance in which our brains are involved.

The best presentation of ADD neurofeedback for parents

This bood is qutie remarkable for giving accurate and detailed information on ADD and neurofeedback in a manner that is easily read and understood by lay persons. As a child psychiatrist who practices neruofeedback I found the book to cover this very challenging field and leave me with a deeper understnading of the work that I do. It would be hard to find a better book on the subject.

Outstanding Resource

The authors of ADD: The 20 Hour Solution did an outstanding job of clarifying not only the issues and symptoms of AD/HD, but also how EEG neurofeedback effectively reduces those symptoms. Their explanations of ADD are scientifically based, yet articulated for the lay person. Their explanations of neurofeedback are clear and detailed, resulting in a good understanding of the neurofeedback training process. This book is filled with case studies and examples which further illuminate how neurofeedback works. It's a very interesting and informative read for parents, educators and other professionals.

An excellent resource to consult

The collaborative work of licensed Mark Steinberg and ADHD expert Siegfried Othmer, ADD: The 20-Hour Solution is an informed and informative introduction to how EEG and biofeedback can be used to directly address the core problem of ADD and ADHD, in order to lessen symptoms and help produce tangible results. Personal anecdotes, up-to-date resources on where and how to provide EEG neurofeedback information and providers, basics concerning how brain functioning directly affects one's life, and much more, ADD: The 20-Hour Solution is an excellent resource to consult for parents, educators, counselors, and care takers considering a new approach to controlling ADD and ADHD in their children or charges.
