Do Children With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Need Medication To Control Their Behavior?
Is Parent Training A Substitute for Medication in Children with ADHD? WHAT: News Briefing: Do Children with ADHD Need Medication to Control Their Behavior? WHEN: Monday August 17, 1998 at 9:00 AM WHERE: The Palace Hotel, Napa Room, San Francisco, CA While a vast majority of psychologists who treat children with ADHD believe that medication such as Ritalin is necessary to regulate their behavior, a handful of researchers and clinicians are challenging this widely held assumption. Psychologist David B. Stein, Ph.D., of Longwood College, Farmville, Virginia, has been successful in treating children with ADHD through the implementation of parent training techniques, which he claims eliminates the need for medication in treating ADHD. Psychologists George DuPaul, Ph.D., of Lehigh University, and Arthur D. Anastopoulos, Ph.D., of the University of North Carolina – Greensboro, maintain that Ritalin is often an integral component in the treatment of ADHD in children. PARTICIPANTS: David B. Ste
