More questions about this book
- How would you explain the core philosophy of "Flourishing with Adult ADHD," particularly the significance of a "neuro-affirming lens" and "positive psychology," to a practitioner who only views ADHD as a deficit or disorder?
- The text mentions "false growth mindset." How might a client with ADHD, inadvertently adopting a "false growth mindset," sabotage their ability to achieve the book's stated goals of "developing hope, resilience, agency, and capacity"?
- Why is the book's synthesis of "theoretical frameworks, cutting-edge, evidence-based coaching and psychological science, positive psychology, and research findings" particularly crucial for effectively supporting adults with ADHD, as opposed to a more singular therapeutic approach?
- If a practitioner were to primarily focus on teaching "growth mindset" without understanding the nuances of a "false growth mindset," what potential negative outcomes could arise for an adult client with ADHD seeking to "make self-determined choices and take more effective action"?
