INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL THERAPY FOR ADOLESCENTS WITH ADHD: TOWARD A DIFFERENTIATED APPROACH TO TREATMENT FORMAT

Abstract

This study examined individual and group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) among adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), focusing on whether treatment format was associated with different patterns of symptom severity and functional impairment. The analysis was designed to move beyond a general comparison between receiving and not receiving CBT and to consider whether individual and group formats were linked to different outcomes.
