ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is caused by hereditary factors but it can only really be understood using a model that takes into account the interaction between genes and the environment. Discipline styles stand out among the factors offered by the familial environment that can influence the course of ADHD. AIMS. To compare the discipline styles employed by mothers of children with and without ADHD and to analyse how the subtype of ADHD and the presence of oppositional defiant disorder influence the discipline styles utilised by mothers of children with ADHD.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS We divided 167 mothers into two groups, one consisting of those who had a child with ADHD (n = 114) and a control group (n = 53), and they were asked to answer a semi-structured interview and a questionnaire about discipline styles.

RESULTS The statistical analyses showed that mothers of children with ADHD used more severe discipline strategies, especially if the ADHD was associated with oppositional defiant disorder.

CONCLUSIONS Interventions must include family guidance focused on the dimensions of self-control and affective expression. KeywordsADHD Discipline styles Laxness Over-reactivity Verbosity CategoriesNeuropediatría Neuropsiquiatría
