Beschreibung
This book explains, in engaging language, the emotional experience and possible behavioural patterns of ADHD on the bases of its neurobiological function, with a focus on the opportunities and obstacles faced by those with ADHD in professional education as well as in the course of a professional career.
A number of conceptualization concerning the central traits of ADHD such as negative hyperfocus, unusual learning curve, questions of selfesteem and emergency-benefits are unfolded for the first time in detail, combined with actionable explanations on how to deal successfully with these traits.
In consideration of readers with ADHD, the text is carefully written in a way that grabs your attention with: short sections, numerous illustrations, mini case histories and additional facts as extras.
The book is meant for persons with ADHD and their families, for employers and HR responsibles and last but not least for physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and other professionals who want to understand in depth the functioning and emotional experiencing of ADHD and how to deal with it in practice.

Informationen zu E-Books
„E-Book“ steht für digitales Buch. Um diese Art von Büchern lesen zu können wird entweder eine spezielle Software für Computer, Tablets und Smartphones oder ein E-Book Reader benötigt. Da viele verschiedene Formate (Dateien) für E-Books existieren, gilt es dabei, einiges zu beachten.
Von uns werden digitale Bücher in drei Formaten ausgeliefert. Die Formate sind EPUB mit DRM (Digital Rights Management), EPUB ohne DRM und PDF. Bei den Formaten PDF und EPUB ohne DRM müssen Sie lediglich prüfen, ob Ihr E-Book Reader kompatibel ist. Wenn ein Format mit DRM genutzt wird, besteht zusätzlich die Notwendigkeit, dass Sie einen kostenlosen Adobe® Digital Editions Account besitzen. Wenn Sie ein E-Book, das Adobe® Digital Editions benötigt herunterladen, erhalten Sie eine ASCM-Datei, die zu Digital Editions hinzugefügt und mit Ihrem Account verknüpft werden muss. Einige E-Book Reader (zum Beispiel PocketBook Touch) unterstützen auch das direkte Eingeben der Login-Daten des Adobe Accounts – somit können diese ASCM-Dateien direkt auf das betreffende Gerät kopiert werden.
Da E-Books nur für eine begrenzte Zeit – in der Regel 6 Monate – herunterladbar sind, sollten Sie stets eine Sicherheitskopie auf einem Dauerspeicher (Festplatte, USB-Stick oder CD) vorsehen. Auch ist die Menge der Downloads auf maximal 5 begrenzt.
