"Honos-Webb's book is a healing gift to children with ADHD and
their parents, teachers, psychologists, and doctors. Taken to
heart, her message could transform the lives of these children,
their families, and even the educational system. The Gift of ADHD
is a must-read for anyone whose life is touched by the unique
children who are given this diagnosis. Even adults with this
diagnosis should read this book to find a radically new way of
understanding themselves and celebrating their own gifts."
--Lane Arye, PhD, author of Unintentional Music: Releasing Your
Deepest Creativity and internationally known process-oriented
therapist and teacher
"You are the parent. If you can change and do what this wonderful
book invites you to change and do, then you can give the most
precious gift to your child--transforming your child's "problem"
into a strength. Please accept the gift of this book--for your
child's sake."
--Alvin R. Mahrer, PhD, professor emeritus of psychology at the
University of Ottawa, Canada, and author of The Complete Guide to
Experiential Psychotherapy
"Honos-Webb grabbed my scattered attention quickly and held it with
this enlightening book, without resorting to drugs. I nervously
jumped to sections such as 'The Medical Model of Disease' and 'Why
Medications May Not Be the Answer' and found them balanced and
enlightening. Then I calmed down, read the rest, and learned a lot.
You will too . . . if you can pay attention."
--Thomas Greening, professor of psychology at Saybrook Graduate
School and editor of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology
