Thank you from the depths of my heart. I am a former (20 year) educator, and a parent. I have ADHD, and my children do. One of my kids has pronounced aggressive and anger symptoms which emerged around 7 years ago. In seeking help, we were grossing under- informed, mis- informed. My son was incorrectly treated and we struggled for ages it seemed. Having found your work and the work of The ADHD Dude, we have been able to turn a corner toward a more peaceful life because we gained the confidence to medicate and parent properly for our kids. We have miles and miles of healing journeys to travel because of the wrong paths we took before this year but I’m grateful, so grateful to be making progress. Looking back, I’m sad for my ADHD high schoolers who likely struggled more than necessary because of the fact educators are grossly under-trained, mis/under-informed about ADHD. I speak out boldly now and you definitely helped equip me to help others!! Thank you.
Hey Doc! I've just finished yesterday listening for the third time 'Taking charge of adult ADHD'. Each time is easier to receive its content, as my acceptance of having impairments related to ADHD symptoms grows. I'm waiting for your next one: Your defiant you. :) It's my latest discovery that my ODD cause me acting against myself, and as I'm 43 yo being diagnosed last year - it is quite a bitter conclusion. I think this kind of partially self-destructing, partially self-sabotaging behaviours is not very much explored yet in trade books and as in research as well. Thank you for all of your work and wish you all the best! :) PS. Love that joke about sleeping pills! ;)
Thank you for giving a closer look about your books. I'm a teacher and I'm planning to write my homework assignments about this topic. Your videos inspired me to do this and it will help me a lot.
I have purchased numerous copies of most of these books. My personal favourite is the 12 Principles for Raising a Child with ADHD but they are all useful. I don't live in the USA, and some of the attitudes towards/ beliefs about ADHD here can be shocking so I'm glad to help stem the misinformation tide in my own tiny way. I have placed Barkley books in "Free Little Libraries" both in this country and when I've travelled overseas. I have given a few to the clinicians where my child is treated, in hopes that they will continue to educate themselves and their patients. I've donated books so that the Special Ed Department at my child's school now has a "library" (just a wee stack of books about ADHD) that they can share with any interested parents or teachers. I have given books to the organisers of my ADHD support group. When I meet people who've recently been diagnosed, or whose kids have been recently diagnosed, I offer to lend them books (and if they borrow, the books are usually not returned, and that's okay... I just buy more). There is much garbage about ADHD "out there;" purchasing and giving away 10 or 20 books each year is a small way I can try to counterbalance it. And, of course, it pleases me to think that Dr. Barkley might buy a few more strips of bacon for The Moose with royalties he earns from these book purchases. 😊🥓🐶
I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and generosity in sharing my work as you do with others and I am thrilled that it has been helpful to you and your family as well. And, yes, I will get more bacon for Moosie. Be well.
I think Ari Tuckman has done some good work generating very practical advice for adults. And Thomas Brown as well. There is some good information in Ned Hallowell’s books on ADHD. Stephanie Sarkis has practical advice as well. We agree on most things but I don’t share his view that ADHD is a gift. Be well.
I just saw that there was a new book in german which is called: "Das große Handbuch für Erwachsene mit ADHS" ISBN-13: 978-3456862217 The title is not a direct translation so I was wondering: Is this the german version of "Taking charge of Adult ADHD (second edition)"?
"Das große Handbuch für Erwachsene mit ADHS" is indeed the German translation of "Taking charge of Adult ADHD". It's actually the third revised edition of said translation which was only recently published. The first edition dates back to 2012. This information can be found on the first few pages of the book, which are available to read on the hogrefe (publisher) website, but also on most seller's websites online.
@@kluftritter3047 Thank you. I guess the phrase "taking charge" does not translate that well to german. Although "The big handbook for adults with ADHD" (which is the literal translation of the german title, in case anyone's curious) also sounds quite fitting.

And thank you as well. I hope the progress continues. Be well.
I have an audio version of Taking Charge of Adult ADHD, superb! My psychiatrist recommended it.
How awesome that your psychiatrist recommended it!
Thank you!
What about children
What is the effectiveness of neurofeedback for ADHD?
I have a video on that topic on this channel. See Brief Commentaries playlist.

Taking Charge of ADHD (Adult) Knowing about interventions vs using them in the moment? My working memory & executive function goes missing :-/

Dr. Barkley, can you recommend other books that are worth reading from other authors on ADHD?
Do you mean that dr Barkley s books aren't effective?😡

I don’t think so. Usually the publisher requires that the title be closely translated.
"Das große Handbuch für Erwachsene mit ADHS" is indeed the German translation of "Taking charge of Adult ADHD". It's actually the third revised edition of said translation which was only recently published. The first edition dates back to 2012. This information can be found on the first few pages of the book, which are available to read on the hogrefe (publisher) website, but also on most seller's websites online.
