ADHD Children’s Emotion Regulation in FACE© – Perspective (Facilitating Adjustment of Cognition and Emotion): Theory, Research and Practice

Boekbijdrage - Hoofdstuk

Children with ADHD are known to display primary features of impulsivity, inattention and/or hyperactivity [1]. They also constitute a diverse group, encompassing predominantly inattentive (ADHD-I), hyperactive/impulsive (ADHD-HI) and combined (ADHD-C) subtypes with multiple comorbidities and developmental paths [2]. ADHD children's cognitive functioning and outcomes have been investigated extensively. Remarkably, much less research and prevention efforts have been devoted to their emotional processes and outcomes [2-4]. Consistent with a surge in research placing emotions at the centre of various psychopathologies over the past decade, a start has been made toward gaining a more balanced view of ADHD children's functioning.

This chapter discusses why emotion research is important for ADHD children (§2), presents the FACE©-model (Facilitating the Adjustment of Cognition and Emotion, [5, 6]) (§3) as a comprehensive framework through which to identify the major components and levels of emotional and associated cognitive functioning covered by the broad concept of emotion regulation (ER) (§4) and critically reviews which of these issues have been investigated in the context of ADHD (§5). The chapter pursues with identifying cautions and conditions for translating research into practice and reformulating these into a resiliency perspective on ADHD children's emotional functioning, after which implications are drawn from the evidence-base to inform intervention and prevention efforts with ADHD youth and their families (§6). The chapter briefly rounds out by outlining a strengths-based perspective on further emotion-oriented research and practice with ADHD youth (§7)...
