The Psychobiology of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

  • Chapter
Handbook of Disruptive Behavior Disorders

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to link the advances in our understanding of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) delineated in this book to evolving models of brain function and dysfunction. The model presented here is a compendium and elaboration of others proposed over the past three decades. For economy, comprehensive reviews are cited rather than primary sources whenever possible, since the principal goal is to outline broad areas of previous work and directions for future studies, rather than to claim the status of a complete theory.
