Acceptance and commitment therapy for individuals having attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): A scoping review
Overview
This scoping review synthesizes evidence from six studies regarding the application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for individuals with ADHD. The resource describes how ACT is utilized to address behavioral symptoms like inattention and impulsivity, as well as associated psychosocial issues such as anxiety and poor quality of life. It notes that the approach can be adapted for both individual and group formats, though the authors indicate that further research is needed to support these preliminary findings.
