This book is about as good as it gets for ADHD treatment. It doesn't say too much or too little, just what the ADHD person needs. I have tried all kinds of other techniques and books, but this one really stuck with me. I highly recommend it if you're looking for something that works over something long and complicated.

This companion therapist guide links very well with the patient guide for employing an additional treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

It starts at a very basic level to enhance motivation for treatment, and systematically (and repetitively) addresses skills to manage and organize life (such as obtaining calendar, notebook for task list, task list development and prioritization and plan for implementation), then moves on to distractablity (fitting tasks to individual's capacity, environmental manipulations) and finally to learn adaptive thinking strategies.

The modules are tightly organized, and build on each other. The overall program is very application oriented, with much stress on continual employment of strategies and techniques.

I think this is a very worthwhile product, which when used as it is intended, can lead to improvement for those with adult ADHD.

If you know nothing about ADHD you may learn a few things here but I would describe this book as 2 or 3 pages worth of helpful information crammed into an expensive 130-page manual. Save your money and read Driven to Distraction or other works.

This book arrived in the condition promised (excellent) and within two days of ordering it although I did not use expedited shipping. I have just begun to review the content, but have thus far found it easy to read and quite useful.
