Rethinking Adult ADHD: Helping Clients Turn Intentions Into Actions

6/2/2022 - 6/2/2022
12:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Location: Live webinar, Sponsored by TPN; cost: free; Approved for 3.0 in Diagnosis, Live Webinar

Increasing numbers of adult clients are seeking evaluation and treatment for adult ADHD. Although medications offer symptom relief, most adults with ADHD will require concurrent psychosocial treatment modified to address their unique needs, especially the consistent use of the known coping strategies. Cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) adapted for adult ADHD is an evidence-supported treatment, though most clients report that they “know what to do, but have difficulties doing it,” which reflects the fact that ADHD is a performance problem, not a knowledge problem. In this webinar, Dr. J. Russell Ramsay will review the contemporary understanding of the nature of ADHD and how this model informs psychosocial treatment. Dr. Ramsay will illustrate the components of an implementation-focused CBT approach adapted to adult ADHD, including the role of cognitions, behaviors, and emotions as well as showing a video demonstration of a session of this approach.

The presenter is Dr. J. Russell (“Russ”) Ramsay, co-founder and clinical director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Adult ADHD Treatment and Research Program and an associate professor of clinical psychology in the Perelman School of Medicine at PENN.  

The workshop is approved for 3.0 CE clock hours in Diagnosis; no NBCC credit available for this program.
