Family Therapy for ADHD: Treating Children, Adolescents, and Adults

By Craig A. Everett and Sandra Volgy Everett

Book Overview

This book presents an innovative approach to assessing and treating ADHD in the family context. Readers learn strategies for diagnosing the disorder and evaluating its impact not only on affected young persons but also on their parents and siblings. Also addressed are the neurobiological underpinnings of ADHD, and clinical issues that arise when a parent also shows signs of the disorder. From expert family therapists, the volume outlines how professionals can help families mobilize their resources to manage ADHD symptoms; enhance parent-child and marital relationships; improve functioning in school and work settings; and develop more effective coping strategies. Session-by-session intervention plans for clients at different developmental stages are accompanied by a wealth of illustrative case material.

This is a great read for understanding how ADHD plays into family dynamics and understanding the impact on each member. I recommend this book for anyone with ADHD in their family, counselors, therapists, and social workers or those who work with families struggling with ADHD.
