Edward “Ned” M. 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.
Ned has authored books on various psychological topics, including

Disorder from Childhood Through Adulthood,
and

Attention Deficit Disorder in children and in adults.
His
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.
His
WORRY: Hope and Help for a Common Condition 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.
Ned has completed
Connect: 12 Vital Ties That Open Your Heart, Lengthen Your Life, and
Deepen Your Soul. This book focuses on the power of the various
connections people make in life — from connections of family and
friends, to neighborhood and community, to workplaces and other
organizations, to systems of belief and the world of
beauty.
Ned has also completed two videotapes for the Public
Broadcasting System (PBS), one about managing worry, the other about the
power of connection. 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”.
