Long-Term Prognosis for Children with Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADD/H)

  • Chapter
Advances in Clinical Child Psychology

Part of the book series: Advances in Clinical Child Psychology ((ACCP,volume 8))

Abstract

Attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADD/H) is a diagnosis used to describe children who have difficulties complying in an age-appropriate fashion with situational demands for restrained activity, sustained attention, and inhibition of impulsive responding. This disorder has generated a great deal of interest over the past several years, justified in part by the high prevalence rates (3%–15%) among schoolage children (e.g., Bosco & Robin, 1980; Sandoval, Lambert, & Sassone, 1980). Initially ADD/H was believed to be restricted to prepubescent children (e.g., Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Office of Child Development, 1971; Laufer & Denhoff, 1957; Morrison & Minkoff, 1975; Shelly & Reister, 1972). Lauf er and Denhoff (1957), for example, argued that “in later years this syndrome tends to wane spontaneously and disappear. We have not seen it persist in those patients whom we have followed to adult life” (p. 470).
