Stimulant Medications and the Treatment of Children with ADHD

  • Chapter
Book cover Advances in Clinical Child Psychology

Part of the book series: Advances in Clinical Child Psychology ((ACCP,volume 17))

Abstract

Stimulant medications have been used for over 55 years to treat children affected by a condition once called hyperactivity and now termed attention deficit disorder (ADD) (DSM-III, 1980) or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (DSM-III-R, 1987; DSM-IV, 1994). In this chapter, we will use the term currently en vogue (ADHD) to refer to all of the conditions (e.g., minimal brain damage, minimal brain dysfunction, hyperactivity, hyper-kinesis, attention deficit disorder) which over the years have shared some or all of the basic symptoms of this disorder (i.e., inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity).
