Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Adult ADHD

The presentation will focus on Cognitive Behavioral treatment for adult ADHD. Core symptoms and diagnostic criteria will be outlined. The CBT model for adult ADHD will be explored, focusing on organization and planning, managing distractibility, and cognitive restructuring:

  • Organization and planning involve developing an organizational system for managing daily tasks, calendars, time management, problem-solving, and managing solutions.
  • Managing distractibility includes skills which determine a reasonable length of time that one can expect to focus on difficult tasks and techniques for distractibility delay.
  • Cognitive restructuring or adaptive thinking supports the ability to think about problems and stressors in a more helpful way using self-coaching, identifying and disputing unhelpful thoughts, and making more rational choices.
