A search of articles from 1993 to 2014 was made of the CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) databases. By studying the literature it was found that until now, the articles mainly come from journals of medicine and psychology. The study of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in China are mainly concentrated on medicine, diagnosis methods and psychology approaches, such as performance of behavior problems, and the interventions of parents and school. The researches from the perspective of pedagogy and sociology are less. Overall, the two attitudes on children who display ADHD exist at the same time: one is thought they are patients, and need to accept intervention therapy; another view is that overemphasis on ADHD as a disease will bring adverse effect to these children. The interventions aimed to improve the behavioral, academic, cognitive and/or social functioning of children with ADHD have obvious effects by approaches as followed: drug therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, parents training, traditional Chinese medicine therapy and physical activities therapy. However, at the same time, it showed that lack of the long-term intervention study. The social environment of children who display ADHD living needs further improved. We should pay more attention to the psychological development of children with ADHD from the viewpoint of people-oriented.

Keywords: children with ADHD, treatment, China, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
