Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is commonly accompanied by functional impairments within personal, professional, and social context as well as further psychological distress. The role of perceived stress has been examined in this regard, although little is known about the influence of stress coping strategies. We examined the dynami...

Objective: Research supports the importance of emotional symptoms in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which are not reflected in the DSM-5 or ICD-10 criteria. The Wender-Reimherr Adult Attention Deficit Disorder Scale (WRAADDS) assesses these symptoms, plus inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. This scale allowed...

There is growing evidence of an association between ADHD and rule-breaking behaviour and that subjects with ADHD are more likely to be involved in the legal system. However, the research on ADHD as a risk factor not only for delinquency but also for recidivism is scarce and findings are controversial. Therefore, we explored the impact of ADHD on th...

Background: Over the last decade, a wide range of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) treatment approaches for adults, including both pharmacological interventions and psychosocial treatments, have been proposed and observed to be efficient. In practice, individual treatment concepts are based on results of clinical studies as well as...

The purpose of this study is to analyse individual differences in the ability of emotional facial recognition in violent offenders, who were characterised as either reactive or proactive in relation to their offending. In accordance with findings of our previous study, we expected higher impairments in facial recognition in reactive than proactive...

Studies assessing psychological treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults are increasingly reported. However, functional outcomes are often neglected in favour of symptom outcomes. We investigated functional outcomes in 95 adults with ADHD who were already treated with medication and randomized to receive treatment as u...
Thesis
Die Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätsstörung ist eine im Kindesalter beginnende chronische neurologische Entwicklungsstörung, welche sich durch die Kernsymptome Un-aufmerksamkeit, Hyperaktivität und Impulsivität auszeichnet, und die für die Betroffenen mit erheblichen sozialen und beruflichen Funktionsbeeinträchtigungen einhergeht. Durch die...
Article
Objective and Methods: The aim of the study was to explore the psychometric properties of the ADHD self-rating ADHD-SR and the observer-rating Wender-Reimherr-Interview WRI for the assessment of ADHD symptoms in old age by using a sample of 324 subjects between 60 and 99 years. Results: In the sample of older people the psychometric properties of t...
Article
Background The Wender-Reimherr adult attention deficit disorder scale (WRAADDS) is an internationally accepted attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) interview with an authorized German translation. The WRAADS not only assesses the symptoms of ADHD but also the severity of the symptoms using the Utah criteria. With the aim of economizing t...
Article
Objectives: In consideration of ADHD subtype we assessed burden of disease of adult ADHD patients and neuroticism. Methods: 511 adult ADHD patients were enrolled in the study. We measured ADHD symptoms categorically and dimensionally by the "Homburger ADHS-Skalen für Erwachsene (HASE)". All participants rated their ADHD associated level of suffe...
Article
The aim of the study was to explore whether the individual burden of ADHD is the same in the elderly as in younger ages even though the symptomatological impact of ADHD seems to remain stable over the lifespan. To assess ADHD symptoms and ADHD-associated problems in daily life, standardised questionnaires were conducted. To assess the subjectively...
Article
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a disorder that usually manifests in early childhood and, in up to 60 % of cases, persists into adulthood with, at least, partial symptoms. In these cases, ADHD syndromes are not characterized by the quality of the features but rather in how they correspond to the severity of the impairments. These...
Article
Full-text available
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by high rates of co-morbid psychopathology. Randomized controlled trials of multimodal interventions, combining pharmacological and psychological treatments, have shown a robust treatment effect for ADHD symptoms but outcomes for co-morbid symptoms have b...

Die Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätsstörung (ADHS) ist eine der häufigsten psychischen Störungen im Kindes-und Jugendalter und wurde in den letzten Jahren zuneh-mend Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen. Dabei hat sich gezeigt, dass die im Kindesalter beginnende ADHS-Symptomatik nicht nur in das junge Erwachsenenalter persistie-ren k...
Article
ADHD and psychopathy are both associated with poor social adaptation and antisocial behavior. Previous studies have also suggested that ADHD and psychopathy share some symptomatology. The current study attempted to further uncover the relationship between ADHD and psychopathy in perpetrators by investigating the possibility of underlying common fac...
Article
In order to further examine cortical impairment in adult ADHD patients and to test the hypothesis of a disturbed neuronal inhibition in adults with ADHD, late auditory evoked potentials were measured. By using paired-chirp auditory late responses, we compared 15 adults with ADHD with 15 control subjects, focusing on the inhibition elicited by the s...
Article
Die ADHS ist eine chronische Erkrankung mit Beginn in der Kindheit, die sich über das Jugendalter bis ins Erwachsenenleben fortsetzen kann. Zur Sicherstellung der Diagnose ist kein Test verfügbar. Die Diagnose einer ADHS ist eine klinische Beurteilung. Zur Kernsymptomatik gehören Aufmerksamkeitsstörung, Hyperaktivität und Impulsivität. Die Symptoma...
Article
Introduction Aggression and violent behaviour are often noticed as a threat of society. Therefore, the understanding of violent behaviour has high social relevance. Objectives The investigation sample comprised 80 right-handers: 40 prisoners who committed severe violent crimes and 40 controls with no history of violence. All subjects were male and...
Article
This paper presents the case of a 40-year-old German man who was convicted for disturbing the dead. He performed heterosexual necrophilic acts over the course of two decades. The most recent case was well documented by the necrophiliac himself by means of photography and video. His actions ranged from visiting cemeteries to dissecting bodies and ta...

Aggression and violent behaviour are often regarded as a threat to society. Therefore, understanding violent behaviour has high social relevance. We performed a study with transcranial magnetic stimulation on a sample of violent offenders in order to measure cortical inhibition in the motor neuron system that is part of the frontal cortex. To inves...

In order to further research cortical impair- ment in ADHD patients, late auditory evoked potentials were measured. By using paired-chirp auditory late responses, we compared the ADHD group against a control group, focusing on the inhibition elicited by the stimuli. The results show overall smaller amplitudes in the N100 and P200 waves, as well as...
