Do boys with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder have positive illusory self-concepts?

One hundred ninety-five boys with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were compared with 73 comparison boys (M = 9.83 years, SD = 1.30) on self-perceptions relative to a teacher-rated criterion. Emphasis was placed on ADHD subgroup comparisons according to level of aggression, academic achievement, and depression compared with control boys. Consistent with the authors' prediction, ADHD boys overestimated relative to teacher report, more than did controls, in the scholastic competence, social acceptance, and behavioral conduct domains. Examination of discrepancy scores (child rating - teacher rating) by comorbidity subgroups suggested that aggressive and low-achieving ADHD boys tended to overestimate their competence the most in the domains in which they were the most impaired. Results are discussed in terms of prior literature on "positive illusions" in ADHD children.

Regressive alterations of the self concept.

When clinicians formulate a case for treatment by dynamic psychotherapy they include an assessment of ego functions, including the capacity for self symbolization. Terminology for this purpose has been diffusely defined. This paper reviews concepts for describing self symbolization and emphasizes ways of describing the multiplicity of symbols present within any individual. Some regressive transference phenomena during treatment are briefly discussed to illustrate use of the suggested terminology in case formulation.
