Edward (Ned) Hallowell MD

Edward (Ned) Hallowell, M.D. is a child and adult psychiatrist and the founder of The Hallowell Center for Cognitive and Emotional Health in Sudbury, MA. He is also on the faculty of the Harvard Medical School.

This year, 2002, Dr, Hallowell completed a project he has wanted to do for may years; a video set that explains Attention Deficit Disorder to teachers & parents, taking away the fear & replacing it with confidence! Welcome to ADDland  & ADD Goes To School.

He has authored seven books on various psychological topics, including problems with attention, focus, and stress, and worry. His international bestsellers, Driven to Distraction and Answers to Distraction discuss Attention Deficit Disorder in children and in adults. When You Worry About The Child You Love, describes the various emotional and learning problems children may have and offers practical tips on how best to deal with them. WORRY: Hope & Help For A Common Problem, looks at worry in both its constructive and destructive forms, and gives practical advice on how to control toxic worry. From the person who broods and ruminates, to the underachiever who can't get going because of his worrying, to the person who fears speaking in public, to the many people who have undiagnosed anxiety disorders, this book describes the host of different patterns destructive worry can take.

Dr. Hallowell has completed in 2001 CONNECT: 12 Vital ties That Open Your Heart,  Lengthen Your Life, and Deepen Your Soul (Pantheon, September 1999). This book focuses on the power of the various connections people make in life -- from connections of family and friends, to neighbourhood and community, to workplaces and other organisations, to systems of belief and the world of beauty.

These were shown on PBS stations around the country in 1999. He has appeared on such national television shows as "20/20," "The Today Show," "Dateline," "Oprah," "Good Morning America," and "The View."
