Abstract
It is well established that most children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) will continue to experience clinically significant problems in adulthood. Moreover, many individuals exhibiting symptoms of ADHD during childhood and adolescence may not experience impairments necessitating assessment and intervention until they face difficulties fulfilling adult responsibilities. Although pharmacotherapy is the most effective treatment option for ADHD, in many cases adjunctive psychosocial treatment is necessary to address the wide-ranging functional impairments and emotional issues faced by adults with ADHD. This article reviews the published clinical outcome literature on psychosocial treatments for adult ADHD. Topics include impairments associated with adult ADHD that are a target of treatment, clinical outcome research on psychosocial treatments for adult ADHD, directions for research, and the side effects of psychosocial treatments.
