Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Executive Functioning
Executive functioning problems (attention, working memory, task initiation, planning, prioritizing, organizing, etc.) are common among many psychiatric conditions. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental health conditions and is one of the most common causes of impairments in executive functioning. Several advancements have been made over the past decade in the treatment of ADHD and this book is meant to share these findings with you! Throughout this book, you will find the most up-to-date information about ADHD in all aspects. From statistics surrounding ADHD, comorbidities, ADHD-mimics (differential diagnosis) and diagnosis to pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment options… This book covers each area (see the table of contents image)!
I developed this book with the vision of sharing a body of useful information and tools based on current research, my training as an ADHD certified clinical service provider (ADHD-CCSP), and my practice experience. I have developed an Executive Functional Analysis tool that you will find in this book designed to look at each executive function in more detail (see the executive functions image). From this tool you can identify strengths and areas for improvement. You will then be guided to sections loaded with evidence-based techniques that will help strengthen the selected executive skill. Because executive functioning can be impaired in a variety of conditions (not just ADHD), those experiencing executive difficulties with depression, anxiety, and PTSD among others may benefit from this book!
