A.D.D. & Romance Finding Fulfillment in Love, Sex, & Relati

A.D.D. & Romance is a "Must Read" if you have Attention Deficit Disorder and you are involved in a romantic relationship! This easy to read book is a "gold mine" of practical information that can be used by folks who have ADD as well as their partners to enrich their romantic relationship(s). Jonathan Scott Halverstadt, M.S. is up to date on the latest research and theory related to attention deficit disorder. He speaks "from the heart" and I guarantee you this book is just "packed with information" that will help you to understand your own romantic behavior and will give you lots of tips and strategies to make the most of your romantic relationship(s).I've read at least ten books on ADD and many of them were very helpful to me. However, A.D.D. & Romance by Jonathan Scott Halverstadt, M.S. is by far the best book I've read on the subject of ADD and romance.

helpful in understanding how & why i function as i do

i found this book to be extremely helpful. everything i've read deals with what makes someone add and ways to deal with add (ie. meds and orginational skills). being that i was only 17 when i first read it, i did not apply it to any kind of romantic relationship but to realtionships with my parents and my friends. more importantly it made me very aware of some the bad, hurtful habits i have (like interupting) that i didn't even relieze 1)that i was doing it and 2) that they might really be hurting people and my relationships with them.

A. D. D. & Romance by Jonathan Halverstadt

ADD & Romance is one of the best ADD books that I have ever read. Like anyone with ADD, I had to read it three to be able to remember it but that is me not the book because it was well written. The suggestions in the books have had a very positive on my life and marriage. It is a must read for anyone with ADD and anyone thinking of marring someone with ADD.

ADD & Romance: A Great Job Tackling a Tough Topic

Jonathan Halverstadt reaches deep to address a very difficult subject. Following an overview of how ADD plays out in relationships, he quickly moves to areas we often prefer to not think about: How can someone with ADD possibly be responsible and accountable in their relationships. Using many examples to address these issues in sensitive and practical terms from the ADD and non-ADD partner perspective, he covers many strategies that range from medication to therapy to practical hints. Most valuable is his understanding of what it takes to turn a relationship around and make it thrive! This should be the textbook used in your next class.

This book is very helpful to spouses of people with ADD/ADHD

I found this book to very helpful in dealing with my relationship with my husband and sister who have adult ADD/ADHD. It gave me some useful techniques on how to communicate better with the ADDers in my life. Until now, there haven't been very many books about ADD in relationships. I strongly reccommend this book.
