Tdah Adulto: Una Vida Sin Frontal / Adult Adhd: A Life Without a Headlamp - by María Garau Rolandi (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A partir de su propia experiencia per- sonal y profesional, la autora nos invita a mirar el TDAH con otros ojos: los de la ciencia, la autocomprensión y la compasión. Con un lenguaje sencillo y cercano, combina lo que la investigación actual sabe sobre el TDAH en adultos con herramientas prácticas para el día a día: estrategias de organización, regulación emocional y gestión de la atención. Este libro nos ayuda a entender por qué el cerebro con TDAH funciona de un modo distinto y cómo convertir esa diferencia en un aliado. A través de ejemplos cotidianos, ejercicios y reflexiones, ofrece una guía para construir una relación más amable con uno mismo y con el propio modo de pensar, sentir y vivir. TDAH adulto constituye lectura imprescindible tanto para quienes acaban de recibir el diagnóstico o sospechan que pueden tener TDAH, como para familiares, parejas o profesionales que deseen comprenderlo mejor.

Drawing on her own personal and professional experience, the author invites us to look at ADHD through different eyes: those of science, self-understanding, and compassion. Using clear, accessible language, she combines what current research knows about adult ADHD with practical tools for everyday life--strategies for organization, emotional regulation, and attention management. This book helps us understand why the ADHD brain works differently and how to turn that difference into an ally. Through everyday examples, exercises, and reflections, it offers a guide to building a kinder relationship with oneself and with one's own way of thinking, feeling, and living. Adult ADHD is essential reading not only for those who have just received a diagnosis or suspect they may have ADHD, but also for family members, partners, and professionals who wish to understand it better.

I have been fascinated by neuropsychology since the very first course I took at university. It was at that moment that I decided I wanted to specialize in this field. After several years working as a neuropsychologist, I became aware of the importance of clinical psychology. I needed tools to better provide emotional support to my patients, which led me to pursue further training in clinical psychology in order to address as fully as possible the needs of children and their families. After more than ten years of experience, I continue to enjoy and learn from my work. I am an expert in neuropsychology and psychotherapy. I carry out my clinical work as an associate specialist in the Neurology Department at Sant Joan de Déu Hospital in Barcelona, and as a neuropsychologist at the School Learning Disorders Unit (UTAE) of the same hospital. My professional activity focuses on the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders and the neuropsychological assessment of children with acquired brain injury (ABI). This assessment allows me to design an individualized rehabilitation program aimed at minimizing the impact of symptoms on my patients' lives.
