This treatment program focuses on both the external observable behavior and the internal, non observable, behavior in terms of providing skill building techniques in both areas. Thus, there are two broad skill areas taught in this program. One involves developing Creative Precommitment skills. The second group of skills we call Behavioral Strategy Skills. These skills give Participants specific time management skills using the Day-Timer system.
Subsequent sessions are more experiential in nature.
These sessions are designed to run approximately 120 minutes, with roughly equal time being spent on developing skills in the two broad areas. I am deeply grateful to many people for their assistance in my completing this Manual. Russell Barkley has been an inspiration to me for well over a decade. The Lower Valley ADHD Support Group has likewise been inspirational in giving me opportunity to share my thoughts in a supportive environment. Sonia Nevis and The Gestalt New England Writers Group has provide support for my bringing the Gestalt COE to ADHD, which I am particularly grateful for.
