Jeffrey Halperin

For more than two decades Jeffrey Halperin, Professor of Psychology and Educational Psychology at The Graduate Center and Queens College, has been conducting research examining behavioral, cognitive, neuropsychological, and neurochemical functioning in children with AD/HD. A substantial proportion of this research has been based on the premise that AD/HD is not a unitary disorder, and the thrust has been the identification of more homogeneous subgroups of children who might have distinct treatment responses or outcomes. Currently, Professor Halperin is funded by NIMH to re-evaluate a large sample of clinically-referred children who were diagnosed with AD/HD between 1990 & 1997 using structured diagnostic interviews and a variety of neuropsychological instruments.
