With the many cases of ADD and ADHD,  “there were no medications, no major dietary changes, no endless behavior modification or psychotherapy—-just neurofeedback.  A simple treatment that involves two treatments a week, in which the patient is connected to a specialized EEG computer with a monitor to learn to speed up slow brainwave patterns while watching a movie of their choice.  The treatment is easy, quick, and not costly.  It involves no pain or discomfort—-just watching a movie with your brain.      

ADD is certainly the disorder of public note in recent decades.  Every child  who misbehaves, is rambunctious, acts bored, or underachieves in school is at risk of being diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, with or without hyperactivity.  The vast majority of these children are placed on Ritalin by well-meaning clinicians.  Adults who procrastinate, who are disorganized,  or become restless with routine promptly label themselves as ADD and frequently request stimulant medications from their physicians.” p. ix.
