Edward M. Hallowell
Edward M. Hallowell is an American psychiatrist and author specializing in ADHD, mental health, and human potential.

Ratey, he helped popularize modern understanding of ADHD in adults and children through widely read books, clinical practice, and public speaking.
전기 및 작가의 여정
Edward M. Hallowell built his career at the intersection of psychiatry, narrative, and public education. Raised in a family marked by mental illness, alcoholism, and instability in Massachusetts, he later described those early experiences as central to his decision to become a psychiatrist. He studied English at Harvard College, earned his medical degree at Tulane, trained in psychiatry at Harvard, and went on to serve on the Harvard Medical School faculty for 21 years. His own experience with ADHD and dyslexia also shaped the way he came to think about diagnosis: not simply as a catalog of deficits, but as a search for hidden strengths.
