Since ADHD became a well-known condition, decades ago, much of the
research and clinical discourse has focused on youth. In recent

safety, financial management, education and employment, and
interpersonal difficulties. Adult ADHD-Focused Couple Therapy

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,

cyber-addictions. More than twenty detailed case studies provide

This groundbreaking book offers a comprehensive theory of executive
functioning (EF) with important clinical implications. Synthesizing
cutting-edge neuropsychological and evolutionary research, Russell
A. Barkley presents a model of EF that is rooted in meaningful
activities of daily life. He describes how abilities such as
emotion regulation, self-motivation, planning, and working memory
enable people to pursue both personal and collective goals that are
critical to survival. Key stages of EF development are identified
and the far-reaching individual and social costs of EF deficits
detailed. Barkley explains specific ways that his model may support
much-needed advances in assessment and treatment. See also
Barkley's empirically based, ecologically valid assessment tools:
Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS for Adults)
and Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale--Children and
Adolescents (BDEFS-CA).
To diagnose a mental disorder or make a disability determination,
clinicians must assess functional impairment--not just the presence
of symptoms. Meeting a key need, the Barkley Functional Impairment
Scale--Children and Adolescents (BFIS-CA) is an empirically based,
norm-referenced tool that exceeds other available scales in its
comprehensive coverage of domains of psychosocial impairment. The
BFIS-CA is designed to obtain parent reports on possible impairment
in 15 different domains of everyday activities for children and
teens. The scale typically takes a parent 5-7 minutes to complete.
Also included is a follow-up parent interview form for obtaining
more information about specific problem areas. Complete
instructions for scoring and interpreting the scale are provided.

15 domains of major life activities. Age Range: 6-17 Administration

The Barkley Adult ADHD Rating Scale-IV (BAARS-IV) offers an
essential tool for assessing current ADHD symptoms and domains of
impairment as well as recollections of childhood symptoms. Directly
linked to DSM-IV diagnostic criteria, the scale includes both
self-report and other-report forms (for example, spouse, parent, or
sibling). Not only is the BAARS-IV empirically based, reliable, and
valid, but it is also exceptionally convenient to use. The long
version takes the average adult 5-7 minutes to complete, and the
Quick Screen takes only 3-5 minutes. Special features include a
section of items assessing the newly identified symptoms of
sluggish cognitive tempo, also known as the inattentive-only
subtype of ADHD. Complete instructions for scoring and interpreting
the scale are provided. QUICK VIEW What does it do?: Assesses
current ADHD symptoms and domains of impairment, plus recollections
