Mary V. Solanto, PhD, is Professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. Dr. Solanto has worked extensively with adults and children with ADHD. Her research and publications address the cognitive and behavioral functioning of individuals with ADHD, the effects of psychostimulants, and characteristics of the subtypes of ADHD. Dr. Solanto is active in the training of psychiatrists and psychologists to diagnose and treat ADHD and related disorders. She serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Attention Disorders and presents to adult groups on strategies to improve organization and self-management.
"Few have done more than Solanto and her colleagues to advance our
knowledge of cognitive-behavioral therapy for adults with ADHD. Now
Solanto has produced a detailed, highly useful 'how-to-do-it' guide
to implementing this effective approach. The treatment addresses
the principal executive function deficits that characterize ADHD
and helps adults manage their disorder more effectively. This is a
'must-have' manual for therapists, clinical trainees and graduate
students, and others working with adults with ADHD."--Russell A.
Barkley, PhD, ABPP, ABCN, Department of Psychiatry, Virginia
Commonwealth University School of Medicine (retired)
"Solanto, one of the foremost experts in CBT for adult ADHD, has
produced a state-of-the-art book that represents a tremendous
advance for clinicians. This practical volume provides the
rationale for conducting CBT with this population along with
'how-to' instructions and materials. I highly recommend
it."--Lenard Adler, MD, Department of Psychiatry and Director,
Adult ADHD Program, New York University School of Medicine
"This book presents one of the few evidence-based psychosocial
treatments for adults with ADHD that have emerged in recent years.
Solanto's group treatment approach is an asset to clinicians. It
allows multiple patients to benefit at once as they gain coping
skills and receive social support from others with similar
impairments."--Steven A. Safren, PhD, ABPP, Department of
Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General
Hospital
"Pills do not build skills. Adults with ADHD need to learn the
basic organizational skills that are essential to activities of
daily living, even when symptoms improve. This book is a clearly
written, hands-on tool that will help therapists move beyond the
prescription to provide effective psychological
treatment."--Margaret D. Weiss, MD, PhD, Department of Psychiatry,
University of British Columbia, Canada - Even as an experienced
clinician, I found the book peppered with insightful, clever
tidbits that shifted my understanding of ADHD and how I work with
these clients. We need more books like this! --ADDitude Magazine,
1/24/2013ƒƒAn oasis in an evidence-based treatment manual
desert....What makes this book and the treatment manual that it
contains so unique is that it is based on the treatment
administered in past clinical research by Dr. Solanto's
group....Further, this is the first manualized group treatment for
ADHD in adulthood. Dr. Solanto's treatment is a
cognitive-behavioral therapy that targets the executive functioning
deficits regularly compromised in ADHD, particularly time
management, planning, and organization....I found this book and its
evidence-based treatment manual to be a user-friendly, yet detailed
'how-to' resource that also incorporates theory on executive
functioning. This book should belong to anybody interested in
working with adults diagnosed with ADHD. Adults diagnosed with ADHD
often struggle in various aspects of their lives and need to find
ways to cope with their presenting concerns. This book provides
clear, practical, and accessible guidelines to assist such
patients. In a field that is in its early stages of development,
this book sets a benchmark for manualized adult ADHD treatments and
will serve to ensure the growth of evidence-based approaches to
treating ADHD in adulthood.--Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology,
