Books on Attention-Deficit/Hperactivity Disorders: Alternative Approaches

Transforming The Difficult Child by Howard Glasser. ISBN: 0967050707.
This is the best parenting book for children that have are intense (children diagnosed with ADHD, ODD and other difficult behaviors). The Nurtured Heart Approach is a very positive method of parenting. It is believed that it changes brain patterns (i.e., neuro-development) through relationships allowing the child to function and adapt to their environment successfully while allowing them to keep their intensity and channel their intensity into productive avenues. The Nurtured Heart Approach may be a little awkward at first, but with practice you will be able to overcome the mistakes parents make that contribute to unproductive behaviors in the child. It requires consistency on the part of the parent/caretaker. It takes about a week before your child starts responding. It takes four weeks of consistent use of the three principals to actually transform even the ADHD child at home. Then the program can be applied successfully at school. I wish all teachers would use this approach with their students. Whether your child's teacher does or does not use this approach, your child will benefit from your use of the approach, even when at school. We completed a book review on this book on You Tube .

Unvailing the ADD/ADHD Fiasco by David B. Stein. ISBN: 0740718592.
This is another great book that explains ADD and ADHD and methods to deal effectively with these symptoms without medications. The number of children being diagnosed with ADD/ADHD has skyrocketed, along with prescriptions for Ritalin and other powerful amphetamine drugs to treat these problem children. This pharmaceutical answer to a behavioral disorder is one of the most controversial subjects in parenting today, and Dr. David Stein offers parents a safe alternative. Challenging the disease theories of ADD/ADHD, Stein discusses the conditions in modern society and the American family that cause so many children to hate schoolwork and behave disrespectfully to all authority figures. Rejecting the pill solution, he presents a truly effective parent training program called the Caregivers' Skills Program that helps children learn appropriate behavioral and cognitive skills permanently, without drug therapy. Parents are trained to teach their children to love reading and learning, and to respect authority at home and at school. Stein presents case studies from his own highly successful practice that demonstrate the remarkably effective CSP that can help parents, educators, physicians and therapists treat today's problem children.

Attachment Disorders

The Connected Child: Bring Hope and Healing to Your Adoptive Family by Karyn B. Purvis, Ph.D., David R. Cross, Ph.D., and Wendy Lyons Sunshine, ISBN: 0071475001.
This is still our favorite book on attachment. It is a gentle approach that is effective. We encourage you to watch Dr. Purvis' videos and see a certified therapist that does Trust-Based Relational Intervention. The course of treatment will take time, but improvements are usually seen soon. It is a neuro-developmental approach! The Connected Child is the literary equivalent of an airline oxygen mask and instructions: place the mask over your own face first, then over the nose of your child. This book first assists the parent, saying, in effect, 'Calm down, you're not the first mom or dad in the world to face this hurdle, breathe deeply, then follow these simple steps.' The sense of not facing these issues alone--the relief that your child's behavior is not off the charts--is hugely comforting. Other children have behaved this way; other parents have responded thusly; welcome to the community of therapeutic and joyful adoptive families." --Melissa Fay Greene, author of There is No Me Without You: One Woman's Odyssey to Rescue Africa's Children

The Adoptive Parents' Handbook: A Guide to Healing Trauma and Thriving with Your Foster or Adopted Child by Barbara Tantrum, Deborah Gray MPA LICSW. ISBN: 1623175151.

As a parent, learning how to heal attachment trauma, attune to your child's needs, identify triggers, and create felt safety is essential to providing the loving, supportive, and stable home they need to thrive. Written for parents of adopted and foster kids of all ages, this book offers resources for handling common concerns like sleep issues, food sensitivities, anger, fear, and reactivity. It also provides guidance on navigating transracial adoptions, working through parents' own hang-ups, and recognizing signs of developmental and psychological conditions. The book highlights practical strategies and provides real-life examples to address questions like: - How do I help my adopted child adjust? - Is this kind of behavior "normal"? - How do I help my child live, heal, and thrive with PTSD?

Autism Spectrum Disorders Disorders

Relationship Development Intervention with Children, Adolescents and Adultsy by Steven E. Gutstein and Rachelle K. Sheely, ISBN: 1843107171.
This is the only program that maps out social development and will help Autistic children develop much needed social skills. The authors have a great website and support training. Every parent should use these techniques for their children with Autism. Severe cases and younger children with Autism should use the book designed for younger children (it is listed below). Another hint in applying the information from this book is not to worry about building your own home laboratory with the bean bag chairs. Just simply adapt each activity or set of exercises to your normal everyday life. This way your child will learn the principles faster and progress more rapidly. This is our favorite method to develop social skills in children and teenagers on the Autism Spectrum. It takes time and patient but well worth it in the improvement that you will see with time.

How to End the Autism Epidemic by J.B. Handley. ISBN: 1603588248.
In How to End the Autism Epidemic, Generation Rescue’s co-founder J.B. Handley offers a compelling, science-based explanation of what’s causing the autism epidemic, the lies that enable its perpetuation, and the steps we must take as parents and as a society in order to end it. While many parents have heard the rhetoric that vaccines are safe and effective and that the science is settled about the relationship between vaccines and autism, few realize that in the 1960s, American children received three vaccines compared to the thirty-eight they receive today. Or that when parents are told that the odds of an adverse reaction are “one in a million,” the odds are actually one in fifty. Or that in the 1980s, the rate of autism was one in ten thousand children. Today it’s one in thirty-six. Parents, educators, and social service professionals around the country are sounding an alarm that we are in the midst of a devastating public health crisis―one that corresponds in lockstep with an ever-growing vaccine schedule. Why do our public health officials refuse to investigate this properly―or even acknowledge it? In How to End the Autism Epidemic, Handley confronts and dismantles the most common lies about vaccines and autism. He then lays out, in detail, what the truth actually is: new published science links the aluminium adjuvant used in vaccines to immune activation events in the brains of infants, triggering autism; and there is a clear legal basis for the statement that vaccines cause autism, including previously undisclosed depositions of prominent autism scientists under oath. While Handley’s argument is unsparing, his position is ultimately moderate and constructive: we must continue to investigate the safety of vaccines, we must adopt a position of informed consent, and every individual vaccine must be considered on its own merits. This issue is far from settled. By refusing to engage with parents and other stakeholders in a meaningful way, our public health officials destroy the public trust and enable the suffering of countless children and families.

Borderline Personality Disorder

The Borderline Personality Disorder Workbook by Daniel J. Fox, ISBN=1684032733. If you’ve been diagnosed with BPD you may feel a number of emotions—including shock, shame, sadness, abandonment, emptiness, or even anger. Even worse, you may be tempted to research your diagnosis online, only to find doomsday scenarios and terrible prognoses everywhere you click. Take a deep breath. You can get through this—and this workbook will help guide you. Despite what you may have read or been told, BPD is not the worst thing that can happen to you. Like many mental health issues, it manifests on a spectrum, and while some people may encounter extreme symptoms and consequences on one end, others may be less affected on the other. What do you all have in common? You likely experience difficulty balancing your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. And you may even have trouble seeing yourself clearly—continuously switching from the hero to the villain of the story you’ve written about your life. So, how can you make sense of it all and start on the road to healing? Rather than utilizing a one-size-fits-all treatment, this groundbreaking and comprehensive workbook meets you where you are on your therapeutic journey, and provides an integrative approach to treating BPD drawing on evidence-based dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and interpersonal therapy. With this compassionate workbook, you’ll gain a greater understanding of your BPD, uncover your own emotional triggers, and discover your own personal motivators for positive change. Your BPD has determined how you see and live your life, but it doesn’t have to define you forever. With this workbook as your guide, you’ll be ready to face your diagnosis head-on, and take those important first steps toward lasting wellness.

The Borderline Personality Disorder Survival Guide: Everything You Need to Know About Living with BPD by Alex L. Chapman (Author), Kim L. Gratz (Author), Perry D. Hoffman ( ISBN=1572245077. If you or someone you love is struggling with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you need up-to-date, accurate, and accessible information on the problems you’re facing and where you can turn for help. But where do you look? Much of the professional literature on BPD is too technical and confusing to be of much help. And searching the Internet for accurate information can be treacherous, with some sites providing useful information and others giving dangerous advice and misinformation. If you’re living with BPD, this compassionate book offers what you really need: an easy-to-follow road map to guide you through this disorder and its treatment. This book provides answers to many of the questions you might have about BPD: What is BPD? How long does it last? What other problems co-occur with BPD? Overviews of what we currently know about BPD make up the first section of the book. Later chapters cover several common treatment approaches to BPD: DBT, mentalization-based treatment (MBT), and medication treatments. In the last sections of the book, you’ll learn a range of useful coping skills that can help you manage your emotions, deal with suicidal thoughts, and cope with some of the most distressing symptoms of BPD. This book has been awarded The Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Self-Help Seal of Merit — an award bestowed on outstanding self-help books that are consistent with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles and that incorporate scientifically tested strategies for overcoming mental health difficulties. Used alone or in conjunction with therapy, our books offer powerful tools readers can use to jump-start changes in their lives.
