Huckleberry Finn Reconsidered: An Interview with David Nylund
Kindsvatter, Aaron
Family Journal Counseling and Therapy for Couples and Families, v13 n4 p503-506 Oct 2005
This article describes the views of author and therapist David Nylund on working with children and adolescents diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In this interview, Nylund shares his views on how pathologizing language can interfere with the bringing forth of the inherent skills, knowledge, and talents that parents, teachers, and children might otherwise adopt in coping with the problems associated with ADHD. In addition, Nylund shares his ideas about how the stances and techniques of narrative counseling can engender possibilities for therapeutic change.
