1.1 ADHD: A Family Problem

This video case shows how a young boy’s ADHD places a severe strain on his family. The child’s impulsive behavior repeatedly exposes him to danger, as he refuses to obey instructions. A simple shopping trip becomes a nightmarish experience for his weary and, at times, frightened parents. He has been treated by mental health professionals, with little change. As you watch this video, consider the theory that oppositional behavior in ADHD children develops as a response to constantly being reprimanded for behavior they cannot control.
