To the client these words were not just a diagnosis, but a framework for self-understanding.’ These words taken from the authors’ module on terminating therapy are a statement of the central thesis of this book. This is a clinically driven manual for understanding and helping adults with ADHD. The strength of this manual is that it is clinically driven. The authors are not constrained by a particular view of how change occurs, the structures of the DSM or ICD, the ideology of a particular method of therapy, or a narrow arena of functional impairment. Young and Bramham define three ways in which change may occur. Biological change may occur either through maturation or as a result of taking medication, in which case one observes a direct improvement in symptoms. Environmental change can occur when the patient’s milieu is modified in such a way as to minimize the impact of symptoms or optimize the visibility of strengths. Psychological change occurs through the use of cognitive, behavioral, psychoeducational and interpersonal techniques that provide a scaffolding for building skills that were not previously present. The authors further simplify this schema for understanding change by noting that it can occur from the outside in, as well as from the inside out. Psychiatrists who prescribe medication and CBT therapists are most interested in change from the inside out. The focus of these authors is not on any one direction of change. Instead they have focused on the dialectic between symptoms and function- ing that is unique to this particular group of patients. This is a book by clinicians who have learned about ADHD from their patients. The result is a practical manual that can be as easily referenced in individual, group or workshop formats. The instrumen- tal tools that accompany each module are made available to the reader on a website for ease of presentation. What emerges from this perspective is clinical wisdom. One can see and feel both the patient and the therapy. Sometimes the authors sound almost simplistic in stating the obvious ‘Achievement is a strong reinforcer’, ‘Self monitoring can increase a skill’, ‘Recognizing and preparing for problematic tasks makes a difference’. Yet each one of these statements represents tasty therapeutic spice. YYoouunngg__ffbbeettww..iinndddd xxii 22//2233//22001122 33::2255::5522 PPMM
