Adult ADHD-Focused Couple Therapy: Clinical Interventions
ADHD-related challenges underlie many of the issues that bring couples to therapy—money, sex, chore-sharing, co-parenting. Yet, they are too often misperceived as typical “couples troubles”. Thanks to burgeoning ADHD awareness, individuals and couples seek ADHD Couple Therapy. Until now, however, we’ve had no solid model. This guide merges the evidence of what works for Adult ADHD and for couple therapy. Co-authored with veteran ADHD expert and psychologist Arthur L. Robin.
Adult ADHD and Sex
Yes, sexual expression is yet another one of those areas—like sleep—where the public and professionals alike fail to connect the dots to ADHD. Ignorance about this critically important connection to sexual intimacy creates enormous unnecessary hurt.
ADHD Couple Therapy Chapter in Russell Barkley’s Clinical Guide
Dr. Russell Barkley invited Gina to contribute the first-ever chapter on couple therapy to his clinical guide: Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Handbook for Diagnosis and Treatment, Fourth Edition (2014). It summarizes our Adult ADHD Focused Couple Therapy model, orienting clinicians to keep in mind needs of the Adult with ADHD, the partner, and the relationship.,
