Rund 100 Jahre lang hat man ADHS hauptsächlich als Verhaltensstörung betrachtet. Neue wissenschaftliche Befunde zeigen indessen, dass ADHS als Entwicklungsstörung beschrieben werden kann. Dieses Buch nimmt eine Vorreiterrolle ein und legt die Forschungsergebnisse, die diese neue Sichtweise unterstützen, dar. Der Autor stellt sich Fragen wie - Warum können Menschen mit ADHS sich sehr gut auf manche Aufgaben fokussieren und zugleich große Schwierigkeiten mit anderen Aufgaben haben? - Wie unterscheidet sich die Entwicklung des Gehirns und seiner Funktionen bei Menschen mit ADHS von anderen Menschen? - Wie verändern sich ADHS-bedingte Beeinträchtigungen in der Kindheit im Jugend- und Erwachsenenalter? - Welche Behandlungen helfen, ADHS-bedingte Beeinträchtigungen zu verbessern? Wie funktionieren sie? - Warum haben Personen mit ADHS öfters zusätzliche emotionale, kognitive und Lernstörungen als andere Menschen? - Welche gängigen Annahmen zu ADHS wurden von der aktuellen Forschung als falsch entlarvt? Dieses Buch präsentiert eine zutiefst nützliche und aktuelle Sammlung der wichtigsten Forschungsergebnisse über ADHS und die Rolle der Exekutivfunktionen. Kliniker, Studierende und Laien werden hier viele wertvolle Informationen zu diesem Krankheitsbild finden." Russel A. Barkley, Professor der Psychiatrie und Pädiatrie, Medical University of South Carolina
