Book excerpt: State-of-the-art guidance on the effective assessment and treatment of children and adolescents with ADHD New updated edition Provides guidance on multimodal care and diversity issues Includes downloadable handouts This updated new edition of this popular text integrates the latest research and practices to give practitioners concise and readable guidance on the assessment and effective treatment of children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This common childhood condition can have serious consequences for academic, emotional, social, and occupational functioning. When properly identified and diagnosed, however, there are many interventions that have established benefits. This volume is both a compact "how to" reference, for use by professionals in their daily work, and an ideal educational reference for students. It has a similar structure to other books in the Advances in Psychotherapy series, and informs the reader of all aspects involved in the assessment and management of ADHD. Practitioners will particularly appreciate new information on the best approaches to the ideal sequencing of treatments in multimodal care, and the important diversity considerations. Suggestions for further reading, support groups, and educational organizations are also provided. A companion volume Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Adults is also available.

This book was released on 2005-12-27 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, the assessment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) has evolved into a sophisticated balance of science and clinical judgement essential for arriving at reliable and valid diagnostic de- sions. Because of the precarious mix of clinical and empirical skill needed to evaluate children with this disorder, diagnostic practice in this area has been found wanting by many critics. In fact, a 1998 National Institutes of Health consensus panel concluded that “existing diagnostic treatment practices ... point to the need for improved awareness by the health service sector conce- ing an appropriate assessment, treatment, and follow-up. A more consistent set of diagnostic procedures and practice guidelines is of utmost importance” (p. 21). Drs. Arthur D. Anastopoulos and Terri L. Shelton have designed a book that addresses this need. A number of themes are highlighted throughout the text. Perhaps the most important is that the assessment guidelines set forth in this book represent a balance between science and practice. The authors account for the realities of clinical practice in an age of managed care while challenging clinicians to heed the lessons of empirical research. Although the use of empirically based asse- ment procedures may at times fly in the face of cost constraints (e. g. , systematic evaluation of medication effects), the authors present a strong argument for them. Further, they call upon their vast clinical experience to provide concrete suggestions for translating research findings into effective evaluations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric disorder in children (Neven, Anderson, & Godber, 2002), and one of the most controversial topics in children's mental health (Wolraich, 1999), where the controversy relates to the questionable validity of ADHD as a medical condition. This study evaluates parental attitudes that canvass a spectrum of beliefs in this respect. The predominant belief within the scientific and research community is that ADHD is a proven neurological condition. However, many researchers (e.g, H. Glasser, 2005; Spillane, 2009; D.B. Stein, 2001b) question its validity as a medical condition, largely on the basis that there is currently no objective diagnostic test to identify a pathology believed to cause ADHD-type behaviours (Diller, 2006; Furman, 2009) and that a genetic basis for ADHD has not been identified (Joseph, 2006). The concern is raised that presenting ADHD as a medical condition is potentially disempowering for parents, and may lead to misdirected treatment for children (Neven, et al. 2002). Parents with children displaying ADHD-type behaviours (i.e., hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattentiveness), typically must decide whether they believe that their child's behaviours are the result of a medical condition called ADHD, or are simply a cluster of behaviours that some adults find problematic. Once having decided, parents are then faced with the related decision of treatment: namely, whether the ADHD-type behaviours should be managed using medication, through a non-medicative approach such as behavioural interventions, or perhaps through a combination of both approaches. The use of medication to control behaviours adds to the controversy surrounding ADHD, especially for children. Another point of controversy in relation to the use of medication is the growing concern regarding safety and side-effects, as well as medication's limited long-term effectiveness in helping children (e.g., Breggin, 2008). Given these concerns, and using a mixed-methods approach, this research comprises three inter-related synergistic studies to explore parents' perceptions and experiences of ADHD, as well as the decision-making process they go through when deciding whether or not to accept the ADHD diagnosis for their child.

Download or read book Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder written by Francine Conway and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 164 pages. 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.
