Lass mich, doch verlass mich nicht

As children, they were called "fidgety Philip" or "dreamer"; as adults, they still suffer from significant problems related to ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (with and without hyperactivity). It has been proven that this syndrome does not disappear with adulthood. Cordula Neuhaus, one of Germany's most dedicated ADHD therapists, addresses one of the most painful areas for those affected by ADHD for the first time: partnerships and relationships.

She sensitively describes how their impulsivity, playfulness, mood swings, jealousy, and chaos strain relationships and all too often lead to separations - as does their peculiar approach to intimacy and distance: they are easily ignited but also feel easily pressured or rejected. This book provides all those affected with concrete tools for more relaxed communication and encourages a cheerful "nevertheless."

Because ADHD partnerships can succeed - with patience, empathy, and a quality that has always characterized those with ADHD: a great sense of humor.
