Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many researchers, clinicians, teachers, patients, and family members, the discourse on ADHD has been occurring in silos. Traditional ADHD camps are organized primarily in terms of neurological and cognitive perspectives and to a lesser extent psychoanalytic/psychodynamic perspectives. Those with an interest in ADHD have not been able to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the disorder and consequently have been restricted in psychotherapy treatment options. This book argues for the integration of the three perspectives on ADHD. Drawing on the expertise of an international range of contributors, the volume addresses questions from a psychoanalytic vantage point which have considerable meaning in clinical work with children who have ADHD. They examine the role of trauma and attachment problems as both a possible antecedent to ADHD, and as an outgrowth of ADHD which predisposes the child to limitations in emotion regulation, social adversity, an even maltreatment. Several questions pertinent to psychodynamic treatment and relevant case studies are discussed including: a) the viability of psychoanalysis/psychodynamic treatment for ADHD children b) the impact of early traumatic experience on the child’s specific weaknesses in attention, over-reactivity and dysregulation c) contributions of problems in object relations and regressive defences to ADHD symptoms d) and the importance of other intrapsychic issues. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Infant, Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Childhood AD/HD assessments rely almost exclusively on maternal report of children's behavior, thereby leaving open the possibility that fathers might report AD/HD behaviors differently. Despite this possibility, true comparisons of mothers' and fathers' reports are difficult to ascertain given that commonly used assessment procedures were developed primarily from mothers' reports and the parent, child, and family variables that may contribute to differences in reporting are often not taken into account. In response to these concerns, the current study explored mothers' and fathers' ratings of children displaying AD/HD behaviors. In the first phase of the study, two videos, one of a boy and one of a girl displaying comparable AD/HD and normative behavior, were developed and standardized. In the second phase, 50 mother-father dyads of children with behavioral problems rated the videos. Primary analyses did not support the first hypothesis that mothers would rate AD/HD behaviors at higher levels than fathers. Although no significant differences emerged, trends revealed that fathers rated the boy and girl more severely than mothers. Mothers and fathers also rated the girl's AD/HD symptoms more severely than the boy's symptoms. Additionally, parent and family variables, including parents' knowledge of AD/HD, marital dissatisfaction, perceptions of their own child's AD/HD behavior, and the recreational contexts in which parents interact with their children were associated with parents' perceptions of an unfamiliar child's AD/HD behavior. Implications for future research and clinical practice are discussed."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Download or read book The Impact of Comorbid Conditions on Parent Stress in Families with ADHD written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalence rates of comorbidity with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has been increasingly studied as researchers and clinicians have gained an understanding of the clinical implications in terms of accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, prognosis, and outcomes. The majority of studies thus far have utilized DSM-III and DSM-III-R criteria in diagnosing ADHD. Since the introduction of the DSM-IV-based subtype classifications, the impact of comorbidity may be established related to inattentive, hyperactive/impulsive, and combined symptomatology. Moreover, those same pre-DSM-IV criteria have been utilized in addressing the issue of parent stress as it related to ADHD symptomatology with the majority of research focused on the areas of externalizing behaviors and, in an increasing amount of cases, comorbid disruptive behavior disorders. Studies are lacking which address the rates of parent stress experienced related to these other disorders, particularly in comparison to those children maintaining a "pure" ADHD presentation. This study attempts to add to present literature by examining DSM-IV ADHD subtypes with and without coexisting psychiatric conditions. By using a semi-structured interview and parent-rated stress questionnaires, this study examines the effects of the presence of comorbid conditions on maternal and paternal parental stress. In addition, the manner in which parents attribute their stress is explored through use of the Parenting Stress Index/Short Form. Results indicate that mothers and fathers alike attribute the majority of their stress to their relationship with their children; that is, finding themselves feeling less rewarded and more alienated from their ADHD children. This stress increases when a comorbid condition is present. Moreover, these parents also endorse that their children's negative behaviors contribute significantly to stress levels; however, when a comorbid condition is present only mothers find the behaviors to be more demanding thereby increasing their perceived stress. These findings remain true regardless of ADHD subtype. Clinical implications for this study include providing clinicians with more clarity in diagnosing those families with an initial complaint resembling ADHD symptoms, addressing more specific etiological factors involved in parent stress, introducing more individualized and more effective treatment strategies, and finally providing families with more accurate expectations in terms of prognosis and treatment outcomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The parent-child relationship is often strained within the Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) population. Many parents struggle to find a balance between managing challenging behavior and fostering positive relationships with their children. The present study was designed as a parent-child relationship intervention. Twenty mothers and their sons with ADHD, ages 6-9, participated in a structured, play-based intervention. Facilitators coached mothers over three sessions to use pretend play interactions with their sons as a relationship-building tool. They were also asked to participate in home play sessions between study visits. Ten families were initially assigned to the wait list control condition and later completed the intervention. The study’s primary aim was to establish feasibility of the intervention. Feasibility was assessed via families’ attendance and completion of weekly home play sessions as well as a parent acceptability survey and the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ). A secondary aim was to investigate preliminary efficacy of the intervention. Multi-method assessment was used to evaluate improvements in the parent-child relationship and included parent self-report (Parent-Child Relationship Inventory, Parent Report of Parental Behavior Inventory, parent-child relationship rating, daily conversation rating, Activities with My Child worksheet); child self-report (Social Adjustment Inventory for Children and Adolescents); and interactive parent-child tasks in the laboratory (Tangram task, Free play). Feasibility analyses indicated that mothers perceived the intervention as enjoyable and beneficial to the parent-child relationship. Every mother-son dyad that began the intervention completed all sessions. Efficacy analyses showed significant improvements in the parent-child relationship across self-report measures and coded laboratory tasks. Improvements included more maternal support for children’s autonomy, fewer problems with discipline, greater engagement and involvement in shared activities, better communication, and more positive affect between mothers and sons. Taken together, findings suggest that this play-based intervention is feasible and may result in improvements in the parent-child relationship among young children with ADHD.
