Since ADHD became a well-known condition, decades ago, much of the
research and clinical discourse has focused on youth. In recent
years, attention has expanded to the realm of adult ADHD and the
havoc it can wreak on many aspects of adult life, including driving
safety, financial management, education and employment, and
interpersonal difficulties. Adult ADHD-Focused Couple Therapy
breaks new ground in explaining and suggesting approaches for
treating the range of challenges that ADHD can create within a most
important and delicate relationship: the intimate couple. With the
help of contributors who are experts in their specialties, Pera and
Robin provide the clinician with a step-by-step, nuts-and-bolts
approach to help couples enhance their relationship and improve
domestic cooperation. This comprehensive guide includes
psychoeducation, medication guidelines, cognitive interventions,
co-parenting techniques, habit change and communication strategies,
and ADHD-specific clinical suggestions around sexuality, money, and
cyber-addictions. More than twenty detailed case studies provide
real-life examples of ways to implement the interventions.
