A complete and practical guide to building a successful relationship with a partner who has attention-deficit disorder (ADD), Loving Someone with ADD offers strategies for communicating effectively, setting boundaries, and moving past obstacles together.
Susan Tschudi, MA, is a licensed marriage and family therapist in private practice in Westlake Village, CA. As a relationship expert, she specializes in helping couples achieve marital success.
"Loving Someone with Attention Deficit Disorder is a wonderful and
needed tool for couples. First, Tschudi expands our understanding
of the impact of ADHD on individuals and relationships. She then
offers practical and specific coping strategies to empower couples
with the skills needed to manage the challenges of ADHD
together."
--Dennis Lowe, PhD, professor of psychology at Pepperdine
University and Emily Scott-Lowe, PhD, director of social work at
Pepperdine University
"ADD and ADHD have damaged many relationships. Partners of people
with this complicated issue sometimes take it personally or don't
understand that their mate may not be in control of his or her own
thought processes. Tschudi's book will help couples make sense of
this misunderstood dilemma and assist them in making healthy
choices about their own relationships."
--Barton Goldsmith, PhD, author of Emotional Fitness for
Couples
"Romantic partners of adults with ADHD need good information--they
really need it. Fortunately, Tschudi's new book, Loving Someone
with Attention Deficit Disorder, is loaded with good information.
Not only is she herself the romantic partner of someone with ADD,
she is also a therapist, and that clinical wisdom shines through.
If you are the romantic partner of someone with ADD, you owe it to
yourself to read this book."
--Ari Tuckman, PsyD, MBA, author of Understand Your Brain, Get More
Done; More Attention, Less Deficit; and Integrative Treatment for
Adult ADHD
"Susan Tschudi has written a helpful book from the perspective of a
non-ADD spouse. Loving Someone with ADD not only provides facts and
refutes myths about ADD, but also gives hope to spouses and
partners. She emphasizes important topics such as addiction,
conflict resolution, and self-care. I recommend this book to
couples in relationships wherein either one or both of the partners
are affected by ADD."
--Stephanie Moulton Sarkis, PhD, author of 10 Simple Solutions to
Adult ADD, Making the Grade with ADD, ADD and Your Money, and Adult
ADD: A Guide for the Newly Diagnosed
"This book will be immensely helpful if you are married to someone
with ADHD. It will help you find and keep your balance. It will
help you understand your partner and not act like a frustrated
parent. Tschudi has written a wise, practical, and compassionate
book."
--William Doherty, PhD, professor of family social science at the
University of Minnesota and author of Take Back Your Marriage
