Greiner, A., Koydemir, S., Langer, S., Schütz, A. (2013). Evaluation of a Stress Management Training Program for Adults With ADHD - A Pilot Study. Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy, Number 2.

We conducted a pilot study to examine the feasibility, acceptance, and subjective effectiveness of a new stress management training program tailored to the needs of adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). After a baseline evaluation of perceived chronic stress and coping strategies, 18 adults with ADHD participated in four sessions of stress management training and completed posttests on chronic stress and additional measures. Participants rated the acceptance and effectiveness of the training as high. Positive effects were found with respect to perceptions of excessive demands at work, chronic worry, and general stress experience. The findings suggest that stress management training is a valuable adjuvant for the treatment of ADHD in adults. Further development and evaluation of the intervention is desirable.
