SHORT-TERM OBJECTIVES | THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS |
---|---|
Work cooperatively with the therapist toward agreed-upon therapeutic goals while being as open and honest as comfort and trust allow. (1, 2) | Establish rapport with the client toward building a strong therapeutic alliance; convey caring, support, warmth, and empathy; provide nonjudgmental support and develop a level of trust with the client toward him/her/their feeling safe to discuss his/her/their ADHD vulnerabilities and their impact on his/her/their life. |
Strengthen powerful relationship factors within the therapy process and foster the therapy alliance through paying special attention to these empirically supported factors: work collaboratively with the client in the treatment process; reach agreement on the goals and expectations of therapy; demonstrate consistent empathy toward the client's feelings and struggles; verbalize positive regard toward and affirmation of the client; and collect and deliver client feedback as to the client's perception of his/her/their progress in therapy (see Psychotherapy Relationships That Work: Vol. 1 by Norcross & Lambert and Psychotherapy Relationships That Work: Vol. 2 by Norcross & Wampold). | |
Client and parents describe the nature of the ADHD including specific behaviors, triggers, and consequences. (3, 4) | Thoroughly assess the various stimuli (e.g. situations, people, thoughts) that have triggered the client's ADHD behavior; the thoughts, feelings, and actions that have characterized his/her/their responses; and the consequences of the behavior (e.g. reinforcements, punishments), toward identifying target behaviors, antecedents, consequences, and the appropriate placement of interventions (e.g. school-based, home-based, peer-based). |
Rule out alternative conditions/causes of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity (e.g. other behavioral, physical, emotional problems, or normal developmental behavior). | |
Complete psychological testing or objective questionnaires for assessing ADHD and substance abuse and/or to rule out emotional factors or learning disabilities as the basis for maladaptive behavior. (5) | Administer to the client psychological instruments designed to objectively assess ADHD (e.g. the ADHD Rating Scale-IV; Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory-3; the Disruptive Behavior Rating Scale); give the client feedback regarding the results of the assessment; readminister as needed to assess response to treatment. |
Identify and monitor the symptoms of ADHD and their impact on daily living. (6) | Teach the client how to monitor ADHD symptoms, rate their severity on a scale (e.g. 0–10), and (if indicated) record their consequences; implement daily self-monitoring. |
Provide behavioral, emotional, and attitudinal information toward an assessment of specifiers relevant to a DSM diagnosis, the efficacy of treatment, and the nature of the therapy relationship. (7, 8, 9, 10) | Assess the client's level of insight (syntonic versus dystonic) toward the presenting problems (e.g. demonstrates good insight into the problematic nature of the described behavior, agrees with others' concern, and is motivated to work on change; demonstrates ambivalence regarding the problem described and is reluctant to address the issue as a concern; or demonstrates resistance regarding acknowledgment of the problem described, is not concerned, and has no motivation to change). |
Assess the client for evidence of research-based correlated disorders (e.g. oppositional defiant behavior with ADHD, |
