Purchase options and add-ons

In Rethinking Adult ADHD, Dr. J. Russell Ramsay provides a first‑of‑its‑kind exploration of the common beliefs that underlie and reinforce ADHD in adults, and offers a blueprint to help clients overcome ADHD symptoms using cognitive behavior therapy.
 
While negative thinking does not cause ADHD, research shows that cognitive strategies play a key role in maintaining ADHD symptoms. The book explores research on negative thoughts and beliefs in adults with ADHD, specifically the belief, or lack thereof, in one’s ability to persistently and consistently carry out the steps required to achieve one’s goals. This manifests in what Dr. Ramsay describes as self-distrust thoughts and self-mistrust beliefs, and which leads to escape–avoidance coping patterns. To address these problems, he targets emotional, behavioral, and relationship problems for work in therapy.

Clinical case illustrations show how traditional cognitive change tactics can be adapted to treatment of adult ADHD, to foster the implementation of coping strategies and essential skills. These cognitive approaches serve as an essential ligament in treatment, designed to help adults with ADHD more consistently turn their intentions into actions.

Top reviews from the United States

  • Gina Pera, author-educator on Adult ADHD
    5.0 out of 5 stars From a definitive expert
    Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2020
    As with his other books, including those co-written with Anthony Rostain, MD, MPH, Russell Ramsay, PhD writes with authority, compassion, and keen insight—not to mention practical problem-solving.

    There is so much to the therapy that late-diagnosis adults with ADHD need—and yet it is extremely rare to find.

    No one knows this territory better than psychologist Russell Ramsay.

    If you are a therapist, you will gain powerful tools for helping your "stuck" clients.

    If you are an adult with ADHD—or a loved one—you will come to better understand what you are up against in translating intentions to action and how to succeed.
