The therapist might, for example, suggest that the patient buy a daily organizer, and then go over with the patient how to set it up. Or the therapist might suggest ways of finding a financial planner, and then remind the patient to do it until it gets done. This is anathema to most traditional therapy, but with people with ADD it is essential. They need direction. They need structure. The therapist should not tell the patient whom to marry, but the therapist most certainly should coach the patient on how to get organized for a date.
