Book Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

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 2013-04-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a condition characterized by inattention, overactivity, and impulsivity, are most frequently identified and treated in primary school. Population studies indicate that 5 percent of children worldwide show impaired levels of attention and hyperactivity. Boys are classified with ADHD approximately twice as frequently as girls, and primary school-age children approximately twice as frequently as adolescents. ADHD symptoms exist on a continuum in the general population and are considered a “disorder” to a greater or lesser degree, depending on the source of identification (e.g., parent or teacher), extent of functional impairment, diagnostic criteria, and the threshold chosen for defining a “case.” The developmentally excessive levels of inattention, overactivity, and impulsivity characteristic of ADHD are present from an early age. However, preschoolers with early signs of ADHD may also have co-occurring oppositional noncompliant behaviors, temper tantrums, and aggression that overshadow symptoms of inattention and overactivity and confound the diagnosis. These behaviors may be given the more general label of disruptive behavior disorder (DBD), which includes oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD), as well as ADHD. If not already identified at an early age, preschool youngsters with ODD frequently meet criteria for ADHD by grade school. The purpose of this review is to (1) critically examine the effectiveness and adverse events of interventions in preschool children with clinically significant disruptive behavior and therefore at high risk for ADHD; (2) critically examine the comparative long-term effectiveness and adverse events of interventions for ADHD (pharmacological, psychosocial, or behavioral, and the combination of pharmacological and psychosocial or behavioral interventions); and (3) summarize what is known about patterns of identification and treatment for the condition. Factors to be examined include geography, sociodemographics, temporal aspects, and provider background. This systematic appraisal also identifies gaps in the existing literature that will inform directions for future research. The Key Questions (KQs) are as follows. KQ1. Among children younger than 6 years of age with ADHD or DBD, what are the effectiveness and adverse event outcomes following treatment? KQ2. Among people 6 years of age or older with ADHD, what are the effectiveness and adverse event outcomes following 12 months or more of any combination of followup or treatment, including, but not limited to, 12 months or more of continuous treatment? KQ3. How do (a) underlying prevalence of ADHD and (b) rates of diagnosis (clinical identification) and treatment for ADHD vary by geography, time period, provider type, and sociodemographic characteristics?

Book Future Research Needs for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder  Effectiveness of Treatment in At risk Preschoolers  Long term Effectiveness in All Ages  and Variability in Prevalence  Diagnosis  and Treatment

Download or read book Future Research Needs for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Effectiveness of Treatment in At risk Preschoolers Long term Effectiveness in All Ages and Variability in Prevalence Diagnosis and Treatment written by U. S. Department of Health and Human Services and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Future Research Needs (FRN) report is based on a draft Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) comparative effectiveness review, “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Effectiveness of Treatment in At-risk Preschoolers; Long-Term Effectiveness in All Ages; and Variability in Prevalence, Diagnosis, and Treatment.” The Key Questions (KQs) were: KQ 1: Among children less than 6 years of age with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or Disruptive Behavior Disorder, what are the effectiveness and adverse event outcomes following treatment? KQ 2: Among people ages 6 years or older with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, what are the effectiveness and adverse event outcomes following 12 months or more of any combination of followup or treatment, including, but not limited to, 12 months or more of continuous treatment? KQ 3: How do (a) underlying prevalence of ADHD, and (b) rates of diagnosis (clinical identification) and treatment for ADHD vary by geography, time period, provider type, and sociodemographic characteristics? Findings in the draft review for KQ 1 supported the use of parent behavior training in preschoolers both for oppositional behaviors and for ADHD symptoms, with no adverse events reported. For preschoolers, psychostimulant medications are also generally safe and efficacious for improving behavior and can provide benefits in addition to parent training. However, adverse events, especially irritability and moodiness, can lead to discontinuation, and use for several months to a year slightly affects growth rate. For KQ 2, long-term effectiveness and safety studies of several psychostimulants in children over the age of 6 years and adolescents found they are efficacious for control of inattention and overactivity for extended periods of time. Few serious adverse events were noted. Publications from the Multimodal Treatment Study of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (MTA) study provide the best data for long-term outcomes. By 3 years, no single intervention group showed superior benefit, which is likely because of individuals obtaining a complex range of interventions in the community. The findings for KQ 3 included results from a systematic review and meta-regression that estimated the prevalence of ADHD among those ages 18 or younger at 5.29 percent, with more boys than girls identified and the highest rates of disorder occurring in 5- to 10-year-olds. Primary sources of variability were identified as methodological rather than geographic. Fewer studies are available that document prevalence in adult, adolescent, or preschool age groups. In this project, we worked with a group of stakeholders to refine 29 identified research gaps and transform them into eight highest-priority research needs in the field of ADHD. These highest-level needs included a broad range of issues cutting across age range (above and below 6 years of age), key clinical issues, and epidemiological and measurement concerns. Within this group of eight, clear themes emerged: the need for improved measurement tools, more generalizable study populations and settings, longer follow-up periods, more understanding of patient-level predictors of response, and more comparative evaluation of psychopharmacologic, psychosocial, and combination interventions across age ranges. PICOTS construction aided our consideration of study design issues and our sample power analyses demonstrated the clear pragmatic barriers that many of the potential designs will present. Advanced secondary data analysis methods may allow some of these complex questions to be addressed in a more cost effective manner but will not be able to fully replace the need for new large, long-term trials to evaluate these complex research needs in ADHD.
