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.
