Historical Aspects of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

  • Chapter
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Part of the book series: Contemporary Clinical Neuroscience ((CCNE))

Abstract

It would be impossible to cover in this book the thousands of articles that have been written on the subject of hyperactivity and related disorders over the last 50 to 60 yr. This chapter focuses on the early history, giving enough recent history to track major ideas and relations as the author sees them. But even here, there are problems. If one looks at the reference lists in books on this subject, it becomes immediately obvious that the lists are quite different, with each writer paying attention to his or her particular interests. Current research reports and hundreds of reviews of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) suffer from an immense historical amnesia. Concepts change, and many of the historical ideas are revisited and passed on cloaked in new terminology. The criteria now used to identify these children compared with those used some 50 yr ago, although more refined and less inclusive, are not all that different. You see a child in the cafeteria who is overly active, impulsive, and inattentive (three items); he will likely satisfy the current ADHD criteria. However, what was once largely speculation regarding a neurological basis and related genetic basis for ADHD is now supported by a large number of very good studies, which will be discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. Much has happened in the last 10 yr. And yet, there remains much to do for those of us who love unresolved issues.

Dr. Dykman is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychiatry, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and a Professor of Research in the Arkansas Children’s Nutrition Center, 1212 Marshall Street, Little Rock, Arkansas, 72202.
