Thriving in College with ADHD : A Cognitive-Behavioral Skills Manual for Therapists

Thriving in College with ADHD uses cognitive-behavioral and psychoeducational techniques to address ADHD and related impairment in a way that is tailored to the needs of college students.

This manual distills the expertise of four psychologists with extensive experience helping students with ADHD. The treatment is designed to be effective, flexible, and feasible. Modules address organization, time management, planning, and academic skills, adaptive thinking, healthy lifestyles, relationships, and other life skills. They can be used with individuals or groups and as an abbreviated or comprehensive treatment, tailored to client needs. The accompanying student workbook will increase the treatment’s impact and keep college students engaged in learning new skills.

Any mental health professional working with college students with ADHD can benefit their clients by adding this approach to their toolbox.
