The article presents 5 interrelated frameworks for counselors seeking to obtain a greater understanding of factors that play a pivotal role in attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Special attention is devoted to cases in which the predominant characteristic is inattentiveness. The 5 frameworks examined are organicity, internalizing dimension, co‐occurring conditions, personality structure, and neurocounseling. Generating new perspectives for counseling practitioners should optimize counseling or treatment outcomes for clients with this multifaceted disorder.
