Written by two clinical psychologists specializing in adult attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), this book offers a radical breakthrough approach using the science of attention regulation, and provides an effective new treatment plan for adults with ADHD. This book utilizes interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB) and attention-regulation skills to help readers better sustain focus during exciting, high-interest activities and low-interest activities or boredom.

Includes bibliographical references.

Transforming ADHD draws on psychology, biology, neuroscience, sociology, and other disciplines to provide an innovative guide for learning how to better regulate your attention. Looking at ADHD through the framework of IPNB--a model that views one's mind, brain, body, and relationships as intimately connected--you'll discover how to rewire your brain for better attention regulation and overall well-being. With the research-based exercises, tools, and techniques in this book, you'll learn how to effectively manage your attention so you can focus on what it is you need to do--and do it well.--Provided by Publisher.
