This article is written from the perspective of an American psychotherapist working with women with AD/HD. The article traces the effects of growing up with AD/HD on the development of self concept. It is argued that early identification, whilst necessary, is not sufficient to prevent common secondary psychological consequences. A cross cultural approach is advocated that teaches girls to be successful in the majority culture without conveying the message that they must conform to dominant cultural images in order to be 'normal'. It is emphasized that methods for the treatment of primary AD/HD symptoms have to be evaluated for their effectiveness for the specific client, whilst the messages that accompany the method need to be examined separately for their positive or negative impact on the client's self concept. |
