From the publisher. Presenting an evidence-based treatment approach developed over 10 years of therapeutic work with adults with ADHD, this book is highly practical and accessible. It describes effective cognitive-behavioral strategies for helping clients improve key time-management, organizational, and planning abilities that are typically impaired in ADHD. Each of the 12 group sessions -- which can also be adapted for individual therapy -- is reviewed in step-by-step detail. Handy features include quick-reference Leader Notes for therapists, engaging in-session exercises, and reproducible take-home notes and homework assignments. The book also provides essential guidance for conducting clinical evaluations and overcoming treatment roadblocks. The treatment program presented in this book received the Innovative Program of the Year Award from CHADD (Children and Adults with ADHD)
