Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often exhibit difficult behaviors, and their parents experience considerable stress. In medical examinations, the parent tells the doctor about problems that the child is experiencing, typically in the child’s presence. In these circumstances, the child may exhibit behaviors ranging from restless to interruptive, possibly making it difficult to continue the consultation. In this study, we conducted family therapy using solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) for a child with ADHD who exhibited interruptive behavior during medical cousltations and for his mother, and examined the effects of the therapy.
Methods: We followed the five steps of SFBT in family therapy for a first grader with ADHD and his mother.
Results: This approach resulted in disappearance of the child’s interruptive behavior in medical examinations and lessening of ADHD symptoms.
Conclusions: Family therapy using SFBT can potentially enable continuation of medical consultations for a child with ADHD together with a parent, even after the child has interrupted the examination. This strategy is worth considering when such situations are encountered in child psychiatric practice.
