Overcoming ADHD in Adolescence cover

Overcoming ADHD in Adolescence: A Cognitive Behavioral Approach - Client Workbook presents a scientifically supported intervention designed to help adolescents learn to manage and cope with their ADHD symptoms. Meant to be used in therapy and in conjunction with the complementary Therapist Guide, the Workbook features lessons on organization and planning, reducing distractibility, and adaptive thinking, as well as an optional section on reducing procrastination. The emphasis is primarily on teaching the adolescent how to learn and use skills to combat ADHD and function independently. The book offers guidance on how parents can be involved in the treatment, enabling them to achieve a better balance between the wish to help adolescents succeed and the need for adolescents to move towards independence. The Workbook also explores how technology can be incorporated into the treatment, concluding with a discussion on how to maintain the gains that adolescents have made in therapy. The book is complete with easy-to-use worksheets and forms.

This evidence-based resource for treating adolescents with ADHD is greatly needed. The clear and concise presentation style is highly accessible to mental health professionals from various backgrounds. The components designed to increase adolescents' motivation are essential. Parents are taught to effectively reward their teen for increased independence. This is critically important during adolescence as parents and teens renegotiate their relationships." * Cynthia M. Hartung, PhD, Professor of Psychology, University of Wyoming *
Sprich and Safren provide a comprehensive treatment manual and complementing client workbook that specifically targets ADHD in adolescents. Therapists are guided in providing psychoeducation that is vital to this group understanding their disorder and empirically-based skill-building that will serve clients well as they face the hurdles of transition into adulthood. A valuable addition to one's professional toolbox!" * Will Canu, PhD, Professor, Department of Psychology, Appalachian State University *
The authors apply evidence-based organizational skills and CBT principles relevant to adolescent ADHD in a simple, accessible therapist guide and workbook. They demonstrate a keen knowledge of the thoughts, feelings and behaviors characteristic of this population. Integration of motivational techniques, case vignettes, outstanding handouts, and tips for involving parents make this a "must-have" for clinicians treating adolescent ADHD!" * Andrea Chronis-Tuscano, Professor, University of Maryland *
