ADHD in Adults (PDF)

"This volume is a ground-braking first step in standardizing the
psychosocial treatment of adults with ADHD."

- Dr Sam Goldstein, University of Utah

"I think it is a uniquely valuable guide to how psychological
thinking and treatment can be helpful to adults with ADHD - I
recommend it to all professionals taking on this work."

- Professor Eric Taylor, Head of Department of Child and Adolescent
Psychiatry, King's College London Institute of Psychiatry

"What emerges fro this perspective is clinical wisdom. I could see
and feel both the patient and the therapy."

Women's Health Centre, Canada

There is increasing recognition of the prevalence of ADHD in
adulthood, which is estimated to be around one percent in the
general population. These people have often experienced lifelong
underachievement; they feel misunderstood and have not received the
help they need. Reflecting the growing awareness of this problem,
ADHD in Adults provides a comprehensive account of the presentation
of adulthood ADHD, its assessment and treatment.

Written by experienced practitioners in the field, the book
introduces a cognitive behavioural model of ADHD from which the
authors developed the Young-Bramham Programme. This is a unique,
modular framework for assessing and treating people with adulthood
ADHD and associated problems using practical intervention
techniques. The book is accompanied by the Young-Bramham Programme
Companion Website, www.wiley.com/go/adhdadults that provides
downloadable materials for use by clients and therapists.

ADHD in Adults is invaluable reading for clinicians working with
adult ADHD clients in many different settings including primary
care, adult mental health, learning disability, forensic,
neuropsychiatry and neuropsychology. It will also be a useful
self-help resource for ADHD clients, friends, family and
supporters.
