Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Across the Lifespan: Review of Literature on Cognitive Behavior Therapy
AbstractThe paper reviews the literature on cognitive be-havioral therapy (CBT) across the lifespan. CBT has shown mixed results for children with ADHD. There is a dearth of literature on CBT for adolescents with ADHD with only a few available studies suggesting its usefulness. CBT, however, has proven to be most promising for adults with ADHD. Newer studies have used recent diagnostic classification, randomization, blind assessments, robust statistical analysis procedures, and longer term follow-ups with booster sessions along with weekly coaching/ mentoring. CBT is a promising adjunct to medication as it addresses many of the functional deficits of individuals with ADHD, which medication alone does not correct. Some maintenance of treatment gains for 6–12 months has been demonstrated in recent studies. KeywordsAttention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.ADHD. Cognitive behavior therapy.CBT.
