MUJERES CON TRASTORNOS POR DÉFICIT DE ATENCIÓN Acepte sus diferencias y transforme su vida Descripción: Mujeres con trastornos por déficit de atención, un libro innovador escrito por la psicoterapeuta Sari Solden, MS, LMFT, explica cómo cada año millones de niñas retraídas y mujeres crónicamente agobiadas no son diagnosticadas con el Trastorno por Déficit de Atención por no encajar en un perfil estereotipado: no hablan rápido, no son hiperactivas ni inatentivas y no son hombres. Este libro pionero, publicado originalmente en inglés en 1995, ha ayudado a cientos de miles de mujeres de todo el mundo, atormentadas y generalmente no diagnosticadas, que no se ajustaban al estereotipo del TDAH, a llegar a entender finalmente sus problemas específicos, así como a apreciar sus talentos únicos. Mujeres con trastornos por déficit de atención, un libro querido por las mujeres de todo el mundo, explora las opciones de tratamiento y terapia, utiliza historias de casos de la vida real para examinar los desafíos específicos que enfrentan las mujeres con TDAH y retrata de un modo conmovedor la vergüenza que sienten las mujeres cuando se les dificulta cumplir con las expectativas sociales y de género. Solden explica que el TDA/H afecta a tantas mujeres como a hombres y suele conducir a la depresión, la desorganización, la ansiedad y el bajo rendimiento. Hay tres pasos que fortalecen a la mujer para que tome control de su vida y disfrute el éxito por sí misma: reestructurar su vida, renegociar las relaciones y redefinir la imagen propia. Mujeres con trastornos por déficit de atención, un clásico en el campo del TDAH en adultos, está ahora disponible por primera vez en español y sólo en formato digital. En inglés, su formato electrónico ha sido un best seller constante desde su lanzamiento en 2012. Lo que han dicho los expertos en esta materia: "Sari Solden ha utilizado su experiencia personal y profesional para iluminar el oscuro clóset habitado por demasiadas mujeres con TDAH... Sari fortalece a las mujeres con TDAH dándole validez a sus vivencias como seres humanos útiles que se esfuerzan a pesar de sus graves problemas de organización en muchas áreas de su vida". (Kate Kelly y Peggy Ramundo, autoras de You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid, or Crazy.) "Lo que me encanta del enfoque de Sari es que es personal, humilde, divertido y real. Ella capta el espíritu del TDAH desde la perspectiva de una mujer y ofrece un enfoque positivo y práctico para mejorar la vida. Disfruto su humor, su sensibilidad y su amabilidad". (Dr. Edward Hallowell, coautor de Driven to Distraction)

Women with Attention Deficit Disorder, psychotherapist Sari Solden's, groundbreaking book, explains how every year, millions of withdrawn little girls and chronically overwhelmed women go undiagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder because they don't fit the stereotypical profile: they're not fast-talking, hyperactive, or inattentive, and they are not male. This pioneering book explores treatment and counseling options, and uses real-life case histories to examine the special challenges women with AD/HD face, such as the shame of not fulfilling societal expectations. Solden explains that AD/HD affects just as many women as men, and often results in depression, disorganization, anxiety, and underachievement. Included in this revised edition is a brand new chapter on friendship challenges for women with AD/HD. Three empowering steps -- restructuring one's life, renegotiating relationships, and redefining self-image -- help women take control of their lives and enjoy success on their own terms. "Sari Solden has used her personal and professional experience to shine some light into the dark closet inhabited by far too many ADD women... She empowers ADD women by validating their experience as worthwhile human beings who struggle with serious organizational problems in many areas of their lives." (Kate Kelly and Peggy Ramundo, authors of You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid, or Crazy")

Sari Solden specializes in working with ADD adults and their partners. Her first book, Women with Attention Deficit Disorder, has sold more than 100,000 copies worldwide. Now, in Journeys Through ADDulthood, she takes a groundbreaking look at the emotional turmoil often precipitated by ADD and offers readers roadmaps to richer, happier lives. Living with ADD affects the development of one's view of self, especially for those not diagnosed until adulthood, after an entire childhood of feeling "different" without knowing why. There are no quick fixes-Solden takes a longer view of the challenges and sees living with ADD as an ongoing internal process. Journeys Through ADDulthood is a step-by-step guide through three stages, or journeys: toward understanding your brain and your primary symptoms; toward discovering your true identity and embracing your uniqueness; and toward learning to share your true self to connect with others. Illuminating her points based on the real-life journeys of two men and two women, Solden offers self-help exercises at the end of each chapter to point the way around common roadblocks on the road to empowerment, self-fulfillment, and the realization of long-buried dreams and goals.

From getting dressed in the morning, to making it to a job interview, to planning dinner—sometimes just getting through the day can be an ordeal for a woman with ADHD. If you’ve been accused of getting lost in your own world, maybe it’s time to make a change. If you’re ready to start getting organized and stop leaving your groceries in the car, this book can help.

This ground-breaking volume provides readers with both an overview of harm reduction therapy and a series of ten case studies, treated by different therapists, that vividly illustrate this treatment approach with a wide variety of clients. Harm reduction is a framework for helping drug and alcohol users who cannot or will not stop completely—the majority of users—reduce the harmful consequences of use. Harm reduction accepts that abstinence may be the best outcome for many but relaxes the emphasis on abstinence as the only acceptable goal and criterion of success. Instead, smaller incremental changes in the direction of reduced harmfulness of drug use are accepted. This book will show how these simple changes in emphasis and expectation have dramatic implications for improving the effectiveness of psychotherapy in many ways. From the Foreword by Alan Marlatt, Ph.D.: “This ground-breaking volume provides readers with both an overview of harm reduction therapy and a series of ten case studies, treated by different therapists, that vividly illustrate this treatment approach with a wide variety of clients. In his introduction, Andrew Tatarsky describes harm reduction as a new paradigm for treating drug and alcohol problems. Some would say that harm reduction embraces a paradigm shift in addiction treatment, as it has moved the field beyond the traditional abstinence-only focus typically associated with the disease model and the ideology of the twelve-step approach. Others may conclude that the move toward harm reduction represents an integration of what Dr. Tatarsky describes as the “basic principles of good clinical practice” into the treatment of addictive behaviors. “Changing addiction behavior is often a complex and complicated process for both client and therapist. What seems to work best is the development of a strong therapeutic alliance, the right fit between the client and treatment provider. The role of the harm reduction therapist is closer to that of a guide, someone who can provide support an
