The essence of ADHD is emotional dysregulation, and the sufferer displays enhanced needs for egosupportive responses from others, as he or she struggles with storms of affect, especially rage and anxiety, impulsivity, deficits in executive functioning, and attentional problems. It is often a hidden core within what is otherwise perceived as borderline or emotionally unstable personality disorder. This is a brain-based disorder - which certainly gives rise to psychodynamics but is not caused by psychodynamics. Autistic spectrum traits, which often coexist with ADHD, are similarly brain-based, associated with intense but unintegrated experience, inflexibility, and a range of efforts to cope with potentially overwhelming emotions and anxieties. Phil Mollon, a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist with forty years clinical experience, presents a wide-ranging discussion of these disorders, exploring psychoanalytic, neurobiological and psycho-energetic perspectives. He describes how the classical Freudian model, combined with Kohut's self-psychology, provides a sound basis for effective therapy with clients whose self is under continual threat of disintegration."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aAttention-deficit hyperactivity disorder$xAlternative treatment 606 $aAttention-deficit hyperactivity disorder$xDiet therapy 615 0$aAttention-deficit hyperactivity disorder$xAlternative treatment. 615 0$aAttention-deficit hyperactivity disorder$xDiet therapy. 676 $a618.92858906 700 $aMollon$b Phil$01469713 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788003903321 996 $aThe Disintegrating Self$93859404 997 $aUNINA
