More Praise for Smart but Stuck

Smart but Stuck will help you get unstuck! Drawing upon a lifetime of clinical experience, Tom Brown once again strikes gold in this practical, authoritative, and, above all, helpful book. No matter where you are in your journey to success, if you have ADHD this book will help to speed you on your way. I could not recommend it more highly.

Edward (Ned) Hallowell, M.D., author, Driven to Distraction and Delivered from Distraction

This is an exceptionally important book for those coping with ADHD and family members who care about them. It addresses a much overlooked component of the disorder the importance of emotions. Clearly written, rich in detail, and full of helpful advice, this book will be beneficial to anyone with ADHD and to those who struggle to live with, understand, and help them.

Russell A. Barkley, Ph.D., clinical professor, psychiatry and pediatrics, Medical University of South Carolina; author, Taking Charge of ADHD and Taking Charge of Adult ADHD

This book, reflecting Dr. Brown's 35 years of clinical practice combined with the latest findings from affective neuroscience, is a must-read for anyone who is interested in ADHD.

James J. Gross, Ph.D., professor, psychology, Stanford University; editor, Handbook of Emotion Regulation

Dr. Brown introduces a forgotten piece in the life of those suffering from ADHD: the role of emotions. He provides an integrative and easy-to-understand view of how executive functioning impairments interact with emotional control in ADHD. He also offers thoughtful strategies to minimize the impact of these impairments.

Luis Augusto Rohde, M.D., Ph.D., president, World Federation of ADHD; professor, psychiatry, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

These engaging vignettes vividly bring to life emotional difficulties that, even for very intelligent teens and adults, can lead to frustration and failure in efforts to overcome their deficits in attention, organization, and motivation. Here Tom Brown combines a reader-friendly summary of relevant research with his clinical expertise in helping people with ADHD to get on track to success.

Mina K. Dulcan, M.D., professor of psychiatry, behavioral sciences and pediatrics, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago and Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine

acknowledgments

Impetus for this book was sparked in a conversation I had several years ago with my son, Dave, while we were hiking a small mountain called Sleeping Giant. He asked what I considered to be the biggest missing piece in the current understanding of ADHD. My answer was the importance of emotions. After I explained what I meant, Dave insisted: You've got to make that your next book, and you have to explain it with real-life stories of patients so people will catch on! Dave read and offered helpful comments on my initial draft of each chapter. I am deeply grateful for his nudging encouragement and love.

My administrative assistant, Lisa Dziuba, and my research assistant, Ryan Kennedy, have both contributed by assisting with countless details of organizing, checking, and preparing the manuscript as well as by helping me remain organized throughout the process of working on this project while I was also attending each day to a full schedule of caring for patients.

I am grateful also for the continuing love and support of Bobbie, my beloved wife, the light of my life. Thanks too to Liza, Abel, Nancy, Noah, and Simone, for their love, enthusiasm, and encouragement, which enrich my life.

Strong encouragement and much helpful guidance to render this book more readable have been provided generously by Margie McAneny, my editor at Jossey-Bass/Wiley. Thanks also to Tracy Gallagher for her assistance with permissions, Pat Stacey for additional helpful edits and suggestions, Michele Jones for her very careful copyediting, and Joanne Clapp Fullagar for thoughtfully guiding the book through production.
