Sir George Frederick Still (1868-1941) The father of British pediatrics.

England’s first professor in child medicine presented on 4th, 6th and 11th March 1902 a series of three lectures to the Royal College of Physicians in London, under the name “Goulstonian lectures” on ‘some abnormal psychical conditions in children’, which were published later the same year in the Lancet. He described 43 children who had serious problems with sustained attention and self-regulation, who were often aggressive, defiant, resistant to discipline, excessively emotional or passionate, who showed little inhibitory volition, had serious problems with sustained attention and could not learn from the consequences of their actions; though their intellect was normal.

ADHD History

Med den nu äldsta kända ADHD historiken

 

Den moderna medicinens fader
Har fått en del mail om historiken (del 1 & del 2) varav några tagit upp frågan om Hippokrates och huruvida han beskrev ADHD eller inte. Och visst skulle det vara bra med medicinens fader som en referens, det tyngsta namnet av dem alla. En del väljer att citera hans verk i detta sammanhang bland annat wikipedia.

In 493 BCE, physician-scientist Hippocrates described a condition that seems to be compatible with what we now know as ADHD.[citation needed] He described patients who had “quickened responses to sensory experience, but also less tenaciousness because the soul moves on quickly to the next impression”. Hippocrates attributed this condition to an “overbalance of fire over water”. His remedy for this “overbalance” was “barley rather than wheat bread, fish rather than meat, water drinks, and many natural and diverse physical activities.”[81] (länkar etc är borttagna pga av att de numera är inaktuella)
