What can be done in order not to “explode” so easily? Where does this permanent restlessness come from? Is it a biological matter, or are these psychological difficulties? These are the questions of any adult who perceives in himself difficulties of attention and an impulsiveness, and who lives his interpersonal ties in conflict. In this book they find a considered answer.

A great deal of information has circulated in recent years about attention deficit with or without hyperactivity, but it has had children and adolescents as its main focus: it is indeed in learning that the features of the disorder show themselves most clearly. Once that focus has been properly illuminated, the time comes to shift it towards adults. Many of them have gone through a large part of their lives without knowing what they were suffering from, while nonetheless suffering its effects: poor performance at work, impulsive conduct in decision-making, damaged self-esteem, marital dysfunction, frequent difficulties with their children — in short, the impossibility of carrying through projects and activities with a satisfying quality of life.

On the basis of information and of an accurate diagnosis, however, there is a great deal that can be done. That is what the book sets out to show, taking up the different aspects of the life of the adult concerned.

Two of her articles are already available in English on this site: the first and the second part of her text on the couple relationship with a partner who has attention deficit disorder — the direct clinical extension of the second part of this book.
