ADHD and the Nature of Self-Control
(SKU: 41418b)
Providing a shift in perspective from popular ideas on ADHD, this book argues that the disorder is not at root attentional, but rather a developmental problem of self-control.
Demonstrating the critical role of executive functions in self-regulation, the author shows how an inability to inhibit behaviors has a pervasive impact on such day-to-day adaptive functions as the ability to delay gratification or engage in goal-directed purposive actions. Offering new directions for thinking about and working with those with ADHD, this model has implications for clinical practice as well as the psychological understanding of self-control.
