Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Oppositional/Conduct Problems: Links to Parent-Child Interactions

摘要

IntroductionWe outline a transactional model of parent-child interactions which proposes that characteristics of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) appear early in a child’s life and present challenges to the parent’s ability to maintain consistent and responsive parenting. In turn, the presence of harsh or inconsistent parenting is hypothesized to contribute to the development of child oppositional behaviour and conduct problems.
