Mastering Your Adult ADHD: A Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment ProgramTherapist Guide

by Steven A. Safren

ADHD in adulthood is a prevalent and impairing disorder. While medications have been effective in treating adult ADHD, the majority of individuals treated with medications have residual symptoms that require additional skills and symptom management strategies. Except for the intervention described in this series, there have been virtually no tested psychological interventions for clients with adult ADHD to date. Used in conjunction with the corresponding client workbook, this therapist guide offers effective treatment strategies that follow an empirically-supported treatment approach. It provides clinicians with effective means of teaching clients skills that have been scientifically tested and shown to help adults cope with ADHD. The step-by-step, session-by-session descriptions are a practical resource for therapists who deliver the treatment to clients with ADHD. Together, the therapist guide and client workbook contain all of the information and materials necessary to delivery this treatment in the context of individual outpatient cognitive behavioral therapy. Treatments That WorkTM represents the gold standard of behavioral healthcare interventions! All programs have been rigorously tested in clinical trials and are backed by years of research, A prestigious scientific advisory board, led by series Editor-In-Chief David H. Barlow, reviews and evaluates each intervention to ensure that it meets the highest standard of evidence so you can be confident that you are using the most effective treatment available to date, Our books are reliable and effective and make it easy for you to provide your clients with the best care available, Our corresponding workbooks contain psychoeducational information, forms and worksheets, and homework assignments to keep clients engaged and motivated, A companion website (www.oup.com/us/ttw) offers downloadable clinical tools and helpful resources, Continuing Education (CE) Credits

organization and anti-distraction tips were very useful!!! thought recording is not lol... cbt thought pattern analysis is useful to a very small degree but you cannot just rationalize emotions away in general. i say this as a psychology major who is familiar with cbt as well.
a lot of the other tips were incredibly well-structured and i think they might actually help!! i will be attempting, hopefully a somewhat sustained attempt at least haha
