“…La historia del tdah ha sido rastreada hasta el siglo xix (Thome & Jacobs, 2004), aunque se le atribuyen a George Still las primeras descripciones, que incluían dificultades de atención y desordenes conductuales como desobediencia y agresividad. Still denominó a este conjunto de síntomas defecto del control moral debido a la pobre regulación de impulsos (Martínez, 2006;Menéndez, 2001;Miranda, Jarque, & Soriano, 1999).…”

ResumenEl trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (tdah) es una afección frecuente, con alta variabilidad en su prevalencia a través de contextos, y de interés por la repercusión que tiene sobre el desempeño escolar de quienes la padecen. Se exploraron las construcciones simbólicas que hacen diferentes actores acerca de niños diagnosticados con tdah. Con tal fin se realizaron entrevistas abiertas de tipo semántico y episódico a 31 participantes bogotanos, distribuidos en grupos de maestros, padres y niños. Estas entrevistas fueron abordadas desde una perspectiva de análisis de discurso. Los resultados mostraron que el tdah se reconstruye, a partir de la perspectiva del observador y del contexto, en términos de problema hereditario y de fallas en las prácticas de crianza. Por su parte, para los niños, el diagnóstico es un evento importante en la construcción de su subjetividad.Palabras clave: socioconstruccionismo, representaciones sociales, tdah, prácticas educativas, crianza. The Social Construction of Hyperactivity SummaryAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (adhd) is a frequent condition, with its prevalence highly variable according to contexts and of interest because of its repercussions on school performance. The article explores the symbolic constructions made by the different actors regarding children diagnosed with adhd. To this end, we carried out open semantic and episodic interviews with 31 teachers, parents and children in Bogota. These interviews were approached from the perspective of discourse analysis. The results show that adhd is reconstructed from the perspective of the observer and context in terms of hereditary problems and failures in nurturance. For children, the diagnosis is an important event in the construction of their subjectivity.Keywords: social constructivism, adhd, social representations, parenting style, educational practices, nurturance.

“…Likewise, Merzon et al [27] [28] . It is common to attribute one of the first medical descri ptions of a hyperactive child to Heinrich Hoffmann's story book "Struwwelpeter" or "Slovenly Peter, Straw Peter" [7,29] . Indeed, the eponym "Straw Peter syndrome" has been used to refer to ADHD [30] .…”

“…However, Hoffman's descriptions of impaired children cannot be acknowledged as a medical description of illness, neither his book as a psychiatric text, but rather a collection of 15 stories with colorful drawings for the amusement and mild admonition of ill-behaving children [28] . Hoffman actually wrote these stories for a children's book he designed as a Christmas present for his 3-year-old son [29] . In any case, Hoffman was a physician, who later founded the first mental hospital in Frankfurt and became a successful psychiatrist [6,29] .…”

“…Hoffman actually wrote these stories for a children's book he designed as a Christmas present for his 3-year-old son [29] . In any case, Hoffman was a physician, who later founded the first mental hospital in Frankfurt and became a successful psychiatrist [6,29] . Much before Hoffman wrote his children's book, William Shakespeare, the great dramaturge and certainly a unique observer of human nature and behavior, alluded to an individual with serious problems with inattention in his play "King Henry Ⅷ" (Shakespeare, circa, 1613).…”

Core tip: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder in children and in adults. Although the conceptualization and diagnosis of this disorder is often controversial it is not a modern invention. There are significant published historical medical, and non-scientific reports of individuals with symptoms of inattention, distractibility and over-activity, prior to the 20 th century, since the last quarter of the 18 th century. The present paper explores the early history of ADHD in the medical literature and in other historical sources, to gain better understanding of the roots and evolution of the conceptualization of this disorder.Martinez-Badía J, Martinez-Raga J.

“…Os sintomas de hiperatividade e impulsividade foram inicialmente citados de forma expressiva pelo médico Heinrich Hoffman em 1844, num relato que não caracterizava um estudo sobre hiperatividade infantil, mas sim uma história infantil para divertir seu filho. Possivelmente, naquela época não havia interesse na publicação daqueles manuscritos 3 . O primeiro relato em periódico médico mais próximo do conceito de Transtorno do Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH) foi publicado por George Still, em 1902.…”

ResumoO Transtorno do Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH) é amplamente reconhecido como um transtorno de etiologia neurobiológica, porém suas bases etiológicas ainda não são completamente reconhecidas. Achados sobre epidemiologia do TDAH apontam para aumento de prevalência de sintomas em familiares de indivíduos portadores. Estes resultados incentivaram um grande número de pesquisas sobre genética do TDAH, bem como sobre as influências da gestação e até mesmo do ambiente familiar na gênese do TDAH.Os estudos epidemiológicos que investigam portadores de um transtorno e seus familiares tornaram-se ferramentas úteis para auxiliar a melhor compreensão das bases genéticas e ambientais dos diversos transtornos mentais.O artigo apresentado revisa, de forma não sistemática, alguns dos principais achados sobre etiologia do TDAH, focando-se mais precisamente nos estudos que se utilizam de bases familiares.Os achados aqui apresentados devem servir como base para o entendimento atual dos estudos de famílias em TDAH, e auxiliar pesquisadores que se interessam tanto por epidemiologia genética, quanto por pesquisas em TDAH.Palavras chaves: TDAH, "estudos de famílias", etiologia, genética, ambiente familiar. AbstractAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD ) is widely recognized as a disorder of neurobiological etiology. However, ADHD's etiologic basis is not yet fully recognized . Findings on the epidemiology of ADHD point to an increased prevalence of symptoms in relatives of ADHD patients . These results encouraged a lot of research on genetics of ADHD as well as research on the influences of pregnancy and even the family environment in the pathogenesis of ADHD .Epidemiological studies investigating patients with a distinct disorder and their relatives have become a useful tools to help better understanding of the genetic and environmental bases of multiple mental disorders .This article revises , unsystematically , some of the main findings on the etiology of ADHD , focusing more specifically on family-based studies.These findings may help as a basis for current understanding of family studies in ADHD , and assist researchers interested in genetic epidemiology and ADHD .
