Pressestimmen
"This wonderful book presents information and sharp clinical insights accrued over decades of work by a preeminent leader in the field. Dr. Barkley clearly and thoughtfully discusses the causes of adult ADHD and how to get diagnosed and treated. A 'must read' for anyone interested in learning more about adult ADHD." - Lenard Adler, author of Scattered Minds; Department of Psychiatry, New York University School of Medicine, USA "Dr. Barkley's advice to individuals who have ADHD (or think they might) represents a remarkable blend of science and practicality. This book offers a lifeline to adults with ADHD and their families." - Michael Gordon, Director, ADHD Program, Department of Psychiatry, State University of New York Upstate Medical University, USA "Consider this book the Rosetta Stone of adult ADHD. No one but Dr. Barkley could translate the sophisticated grasp of ADHD for which he is well known into lay terms and solid strategies. Comprehensive, immensely practical, highly readable, and wholly compassionate, Taking Charge of Adult ADHD is the definitive guide for adults with ADHD and the people who care about them." - Gina Pera, author of Is It You, Me, or Adult ADD? "This book will surely become a classic. If you are an adult with ADHD, Dr. Barkley can help you make sense of your lifelong struggles and develop a clear roadmap for overcoming them. Stories and examples from others facing the same challenges bring Dr. Barkley's ideas to life. I will certainly recommend this easy-to-read yet scientifically based book to everyone who comes through our Adult ADHD clinic." - J. Russell Ramsay, Codirector, Adult ADHD Treatment and Research Program, University of Pennsylvania, USA

Nach dem Kauf vieler deutscher Bücher über AD(H)S bin ich durch ein Internetforum auf "Taking Charge of Adult ADHD" von Russell A. Barkley gestoßen. Die Sprache ist durchweg englisch und es ist in 5 Schritte gegliedert. Sehr hilfreich ist, dass man bei jedem Kapitel einzeln anfangen kann. Gerade Menschen mit AD(H)S sind durch ihre Art, eben nicht Schritt für Schritt etwas durchzuarbeiten, im Fokus des Buches. Im Vergleich zu deutschen AD(H)S-Ratgebern, ist das Buch von Barkley offener und praktischer mit dem Problem AD(H)S. In deutschen Ratgebern sind die Probleme im Vordergrund und am Ende des Buches gibt es dann mehr oder weniger Tipps mit diesen umzugehen. Meiner Ansicht nach sind deutsche Ratgeber viel mehr auf "Wiedererkennung" als auf "Problemlösung" gerichtet. Gerade die "Problemlösung" steht im Vordergrund bei Barkley: Was bringt eine Psychoanalyse, wenn das wahre Problem eine Stoffwechselstörung ist und das Gehirn eingeschränkte "exekutive" Funktionen besitzt? Ein AD(H)Sler weiß viel, kann aber sein Wissen aber nicht immer anwenden.
Wichtige Punkte sind:
-Diagnose
-Medikation
-Impluskontrolle
-Störung der Exekutiven Funktionen
-Geldmanagement
-Das eigene AD(H)S genau kennen
und schlussendlich die Lebensumstellung.
Trotz all der positiven Aspekte finde ich es traurig dass es zu diesem sehr guten und hilfreichen Ratgeber keine deutsche Übersetzung gibt.
Deswegen "nur" 4 Sterne.

Dr. Barkley's Taking Charge of Adult ADHD the most insightful ADHD book I've read - ever.

Format:Taschenbuch
As a researcher and expert on ADHD, and an ADHDer myself, I've read many books on the topic and written many book reviews. When I was asked to review Dr. Russell Barkley's latest book, Taking Charge of Adult ADHD, for Psych Central, I wasn't sure I'd learn anything new. I was delighted and astonished in every section of the book. Barkley's level of insight, wisdom, and sheer depth of understanding about the mind of an ADHDer is nothing short of brilliant.
The only downside I see is that the book is so packed with profound insights, practical advice, and useful information, that it could have been six books rather than one. For an ADHDer, this is difficult to digest. I'd suggest taking it slowly, ruminating over each section (or page), practicing and applying its insights in your own life and situation, and then moving on...slowly. While the book is dense, it's well worth the effort it might take to suck the juice out of its succulent pages. If necessary, enlist a friend to read it to you, discuss it with you, and otherwise help you glean all you can from its incredible wisdom. If you put the effort into it, you won't be sorry.

Wonderful resource!

This is truly a great book! As someone who has been newly diagnosed with inattentive ADHD, this book did a wonderful job of educating me on ADHD and how it affects my daily life. What a relief to find out that my problems are not inherent character flaws, but symptoms of a neurological deficit. Now I can stop waiting around to grow out of certain behaviors (I'm 26 and in grad school) and realize that the is me for life. He offers advice on how to function with these brain deficits and how productivity tips geared toward normal adults wont work on ADHD people. He offers many solutions that are specific for ADHD.
There are multiple parts in the book:
Getting Evaluated for ADHD
Knowing your own ADHD and which symptoms are worse for you
Medication information
Everyday rules for success
Mastering ADHD in different areas of your life (education, work, money, etc...)
My only complaint is that the chapter on executive functions seemed a little too long for me...and I'm sure is the case for most people with ADHD. I would've preferred it broken down into multiple, smaller chapters. But this doesn't take away from the amazingness of the book!

Good but not great

to me, Dr. Barkley is a superb academic writer and a so so general public writer. Few, if any possess his depth of knowledge on ADHD. In this book, he writes much more (and better) about the effects of ADHD, and much less about strategies to deal with it.
Summing up his strategies for adults are 1) get a diagnosis and 2) get medications. I don't disagree with either of these steps, but there are other that are available. He has a passing mention of exercise, curiously without research citation. I found NO mention of meditation, neuro-feedback, or CogMed or other similar interventions. There was nothing about the dynamics in ADHD marriages (see Melissa Orlov's "ADHD effect on marriage," in sharp contrast).
My comments are in stark contrast to Ari Tuckman's "More attention. Less deficit" book. Tuckman DOES provide attention to alternative treatments, as well as many more concrete strategies to deal with ADHD.
Look for Taking Charge to be very well received. Unfortunately, most will not find the much better books of Tuckman and Orlov.
