[The hyperkinetic child in ambulatory care. Therapeutic strategies for long-term care].
Children with a hyperkinetic disorder (attention deficit, hyperactivity, impulsiveness) should be diagnosed early in order to avoid difficulties in the family and with friends, and, in particular at school, and thus to positively influence the child's development. The present article discusses the definition, course, accompanying disorders and appropriate forms of treatment. Most important for outpatient treatment is the multimodal approach, in which various forms of therapy for the children and their families are integrated. Adequate outpatient treatment facilities must be made available in order to induce the children and their families to undergo long-term treatment.
