“…The encephalitis epidemic of 1917-1918 drew attention to the fact that similar behavioral problems (particularly hyperactivity, impulsivity, antisocial behavior, and emotional lability) could result from brain infection in childhood (Ebaugh, 1923;Hohman, 1922). While causal connections to encephalitis were often questionable (Barkley, 1998), this association prompted some to draw parallels between the behavioral problems of children with or without demonstrable brain damage.…”

Neuropsychological methods and techniques have much to offer in the evaluation of the individual suspected as having Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). After a review of the historical evolution of the ADHD concept, incidence and prevalence, and DSM-IV criteria for diagnosis, especially as regards omission related to gender differences, and other associated cultural, familial, socioenvironmental, and subject influences, this paper describes a number of dilemmas and obstacles encountered in clinical practice. Included are the confounds associated with the wide range of possible comorbidities, the insufficiency of current DSM-IV criteria, the emergence of subtype differentiation and its impact on diagnosis and treatment. The complex relationship between neuropsychological constructs and ADHD, and obstacles to valid assessment are also addressed. The complexities associated with a thorough ADHD evaluation are viewed within an impressive and expansive existing scientific framework and recommendations are made for future directions.

“…Beginning in 1922, the same year as the fourth edition of his infl uential book, Mental Defi ciency (Amentia), Tredgold and a growing number of medical researchers detailed the nega tive neurological and behavioural effects found in children who had survived a bout with encephalitis lethargica (Ebaugh, 1923;Hohman, 1922;Strecker and Ebaugh, 1924). This 1918 infl uenza epidemic killed upwards of 30 million people worldwide and infected roughly half of the earth's human population (Barry, 2004).…”

This article traces the historical evolution of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the controversial use of stimulants as a treatment for children diagnosed with the disorder in North America. While the children in question have exhibited similar behaviour over the last century, the diagnostic labels used to identify them have changed due largely to cultural, medical and scientific changes and discoveries. For decades, children's treatment with psychotropic drugs was sufficiently controversial that pharmaceutical companies would not finance research in the area. The only substantial source of research funding for paediatric psychopharmacology in the USA from the 1950s to the 1970s was the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). In 1970, the first in a long-running series of controversies erupted over children's treatment with stimulants.

“…My previous commentary dealt with the significance of the Still lectures from 1902 (Barkley, 2006). Still speculated based on his clinical experience that symptoms of ADHD and related comorbid disorders, such as oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD), could arise as a consequence largely of heredity but, to a lesser degree, also from acquired injuries to the brain; Ebaugh (1923) provided considerably more evidence for the latter hypothesis. He did so to better or more comprehensively characterize the postencephalitic behavioral sequelae of the disease.…”
