Group psychotherapy for young adults with ADD/ADHD

A manual (Lorentzen, 2013) for short-term group psychotherapy for adults with mild to moderate mental and relational difficulties has shown a documented effect (Bakali et al., 2013; Fjeldstad et al., 2017). This is a pilot study to map whether the manual is also suitable for adults with diagnosed ADD / ADHD - or in need of adaptation to achieve the expected result.

The target group is people in the age group 23-39 with ADD or ADHD and experienced difficulties in relation to others.

The therapists in the study are psychologist specialist and PhD Hanne-Sofie Johnsen Dahl and psychiatrist Christian Hjort, both group analysts.
