Luche-Mundo: A methodology for a responsible and dialogic ADHD approach

Abstract

The high prevalence of ADHD and the lack of evidence proving a long-term impact of treatments justify the design and study of new strategies for approaching this object. Luche-Mundo… seeking for a treasure is a methodology created for approaching this problem collaboratively. It is based in an understanding of the ADHD-situation. This entails children´s behavior, the perception of this behavior, the environment, and the sociocultural context. After a review of the evidence on ADHD treatment, the importance of responsibility and dialogue in the design of therapeutic approaches is analyzed. In addition, attachment theory, systemic theory and aspects related to phantasy are presented as the theories supporting the methodology.
