what theories on child development are relevent to Adhd?
Quite probably none of the theories found in modern books on "psychology" will be of benefit in the understanding of the "cause" of ADHD. They will of course provide you a great many ideas based on what the authors can observe of the physical behavior that is called ADHD.
But this is all "thinking" and unfortunately the brain has no ability to pursue the MIND-level dynamics that result in the behavioral dynamics labeled ADHD. The "cause" for ADHD is emotional and is to be found within the MIND of the person who is "venting" negative energy in behavioral that is labeled ADHD. The "cause" are a number of deeply repressed misperceptions held within the MIND of the person labeled with ADHD.
Since modern mental health [or what I refer to as BS&bp (Behavioral Science and the oxymoron "behavioral psychology") tend to deny and ignore the MIND realm of Man, BS&bp is essentially useless in helping those suffering from these misperceptions locked within their MIND realms.
In point of fact, how would a "theory" be helpful in addressing ADHD? Would you not want something more real, precise, and operationally effective? Theories are OK if one is thinking about something…. but when one needs to eliminate a psychological conflict for another, one had better have something other than a "theory" as a means to accomplish this task.

There are some links between childhood ADHD and anti-social personality disorder in adulthood so you might want to look at attachment stuff and ADHD.
