Adult ADHD

In this episode of the Psyched to Practice Podcast, we interview and engage in a rich discussion with Dr. Russell Ramsey about adult ADHD, focusing on conceptualizing and managing it from a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) perspective. Dr. Ramsey, co-founder of the Adult ADHD Treatment and Research Program at the University of Pennsylvania, delves into the nuances of adult ADHD, emphasizing executive function challenges and their complex implications in adult life, such as personal health, relationships, and overall productivity. The conversation highlights practical approaches for clinicians, addressing the impact of ADHD on emotional regulation and self-trust issues while also touching on current debates, including the influence of media like TikTok on ADHD perceptions. The episode underscores the importance of tailored interventions and ongoing professional education to enhance clinical skills and treatment outcomes. It offers valuable insights and strategies for mental health professionals seeking to expand their knowledge and practical applications in this area.
Course Objectives:
1. Explain the role of executive function challenges in adult ADHD and their impact on daily life, including personal health, relationships, and productivity.

3. Discuss the influence of media, such as TikTok, on public perceptions of ADHD and its implications for clinical practice.

Dr. Ramsay has authored numerous peer-reviewed professional and scientific articles, research abstracts, and book chapters. He is the author of six books related to various aspects of adult ADHD (this count includes both the first and second editions of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Adult ADHD, not to “pad the stats” but because the second edition was a significant update and revision), including his recent, The Adult ADHD & Anxiety Workbook released on May 1, 2024. His self-help guidebook, The Adult ADHD Tool Kit, has been translated into Spanish, French, and Korean and is in the process of being translated into German. The Tool Kit is a recommended self-help book by the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT). He was an invited contributor to the APA Psychotherapy Video training series with an illustration of his CBT approach for adult ADHD.
Dr. Ramsay is an inductee into the CHADD Hall of Fame and received the Martin P. Szuba Award for Excellence in Clinical Teaching & Research from the University of Pennsylvania. He serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Attention Disorders and is frequently sought out as an ad hoc reviewer for other journals. Dr. Ramsay has served previous terms on the Professional Advisory Boards of the major ADHD organizations in the U.S. He has lectured worldwide and been sought out by media outlets for his insights on topics related to ADHD in adults. Dr. Ramsay’s professional interests are improving the accurate assessment and effective psychosocial treatment of adult ADHD and training future behavioral health clinicians in these skills. He continues these missions while maintaining a full-time solo practice.
