title: ["Better to be restless than locked up in a deep hole!" Understanding and therapy of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder from a psychodynamic viewpoint].
abstract: Psychodynamic models will be presented after a critical discussion of the biomedical-psychiatric model of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (dimensional diagnostics, genetic disorder, dopamine deficiency, neuronal developmental disorder). Research findings on early mother-child interactions refer to specific psychosocial developmental conditions amongst children who develop ADHD. Factors which lead to gene expression can be traced here. A psychodynamic-oriented developmental psychotherapy which centres on regulatory procedures, de-centration, mentalisation, de-somatisation and symbolisation of treated notifications is helpful, particularly amongst children with complex disorders. The underlying conflicts and dealing with them are thus elucidated in the presentation of a treatment.
