In Psychoanalysis for Children with ADHD, a group of eminent analysts highlight the positive impact that psychoanalytic work and the clinical space can have on children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Thoroughly researched and informed by decades of work in the field, this volume includes contributions from well-known scientists and analysts such as François Gonon and Patrick Landman. Each contribution addresses sensitive and complex issues, including diagnostic criteria, behavioral problems and patterns, pharmacological intervention, ethical implications and the involvement of parents in treatment. Based on empirical data, the contributors offer a well-balanced critique of standardized approaches to ADHD, and make a case for psychoanalysis as an indispensable tool for both the child with ADHD and their caregivers. Throughout, the book shares the importance of the child having a safe space to explain, in their own words, their mind-body experience.
Written in accessible language, this volume will be of interest to all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists working with children, as well as those offering specialized care in a medical or educational setting.
