Die Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Hyperaktivitätsstörung (ADHS) ist eine sehr häufige psychiatrische Störung im Kindesalter, die derzeit primär neurobiologisch und genetisch erklärt wird. Der Autor liefert einerseits einen umfassenden Überblick zu Geschichte, Definition und Diagnose, Ätiologie, Begleitstörungen und Modellen, andererseits geht er erstmals der Frage nach, ob diese Erkrankung auch auf Basis systemischer und evolutionärer Hypothesen differenzierter analysiert und erklärt werden kann. Insbesondere geht er der Frage nach, ob innerhalb des breiten Spektrums von ADHS ein bestimmter Subtyp ein erhöhtes Unfallrisiko aufweist. Neben den empirischen Ergebnissen können aus dieser Arbeit auch klinisch-sozialpädagogische Konsequenzen gezogen werden. Durch ein maßgeschneidertes Bündeln von fördernden und fordernden Komponenten – im Sinne eines ganzheitlichen Behandlungskonzepts – wird zukünftig der Sozialpädagogik besonders in der Risikoprävention eine größere Bedeutung zukommen.

English summary: No other diagnosis in child and adolescent psychiatry has triggered such vivid discussions in the public and specialised fields like the Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD or AD/HD). Despite this disorder being proved to be genetically conditioned by a brain-organic illness, there are still critical voices who doubt this bio-medical and psychiatric interpretation. Critics especially doubt the treatment with psychopharmic medicine. No matter where the voices are coming from, both sides forget to give the person affected a voice. Against the resolution passed on the UN-children convention the children are hardly granted a say, even though the decisions made by the adults affect their lives immensely and continuously. This book presents findings of a social-scientific research project in which 60 boys aged 7-14 give insight into their experiences they had in their families and schools when they were diagnosed an ADHD child and were to take Ritalin or a similar psychopharmaceutical medicine. German description: Uber keine Diagnose der Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie ist in den letzten Jahren so viel, so heftig und so kontrovers diskutiert worden wie uber die Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Hyperaktivitatsstorung – und das gleichermassen in der fachlichen und allgemeinen Offentlichkeit. Obgleich die Storung als eine genetisch bedingte hirnorganische Krankheit gilt, verstummen die Stimmen nicht, die diese biomedizinisch-psychiatrische Deutung in Zweifel ziehen. In der Kritik steht nicht zuletzt die Behandlung der Kinder mit Psychopharmaka. Gleich, wo sich die Kontrahenten in dieser leidenschaftlich, oft sogar feindselig gefuhrten Kontroverse auch positionieren, eines verbindet sie: Sie versaumen oder vermeiden es, den betroffenen Kindern eine eigene Stimme zu geben. Anders als es die UN-Kinderrechtskonvention fordert, erhalten sie meist kein oder nur begrenztes Mitspracherecht, obgleich ihr Leben von den Entscheidungen der Erwachsenen gravierend und dauerhaft beeinflusst wird. Das Buch prasentiert die Ergebnisse eines sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschungsprojekts, in dem 60 Jungen im Alter von 7 bis 14 Jahren daruber Auskunft geben, wie sie es in Familie und Schule selbst erleben, als ADHS-Kind diagnostiziert worden zu sein und taglich Ritalin oder ein vergleichbares Psychopharmakon nehmen zu sollen.
