Davison, Judy C.
Journal of Educational Thought/Revue de la Pensee Educative, v35 n3 p227-247 Dec 2001
Questions the rising incidence of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) diagnosis in the United States. Suggests that AD/HD is a socially constructed phenomenon rather than biologically based. Urges educators, medical personnel, and parents to take a holistic view of each child, with a serious examination of the wide range of causation for attentional and behavioral problems.
