• J. Russell Ramsay, Ph.D., licensed psychologist and author of The Adult ADHD & Anxiety Workbook; Rethinking Adult ADHD; and The Adult ADHD Tool Kit

  CBT to Support Adults with ADHD: A Therapist's Guide is an important, complementary addition to the evidence-based adult ADHD treatment manuals already on the market. The conceptualization-based CBT approach outlined by Dittner, Chalder, Rimes, and Russell offers a full range of skills but in a manner exquisitely tailored to the needs of adults with ADHD and furthermore to each client. This rich and valuable resource provides all the materials and guidance that practicing clinicians need to provide top-flight adult ADHD care.

• Dr Richard Thwaites, NHS CBT Therapist and Consultant Clinical Psychologist

  As a clinician who works with people with depression and anxiety disorders rather than directly on ADHD, I found this book really useful in providing information and ideas and ways that I could include aspects of the ADHD in my formulations along aside the mental health problem. The worksheets are great at gathering information and helping the therapist and patient make sense of how their experience of ADHD fits with everything else that is going on. Really helpful!

  Many clinicians lack confidence in their skills to help neurodivergent people. This clear, accessible guide adopts a neuro-affirmative approach, reminding us that people with ADHD have strengths and many ways of coping that they can build on with the help of CBT. Similarly therapists will discover that they already have many of the skills they need to work with this client group and it is more a matter of adaptation than learning a new set of techniques. This often means thinking more about "how" interventions are introduced and supported when clients have difficulties with attention and time management, as much as the "what" techniques are used. The formulation-based approach described here allows for neruodevelopmental and emotional problems to be integrated into a manageable conceptualisation that will be acceptable to clients, guide treatment and foster confidence in therapists.
