Highlights

A clinical compendium on adult ADHD for psychotherapists. 19 pages, instant digital download (PDF).

On adult ADHD the literature is almost entirely neurobiological and cognitive-behavioural, yet in the consulting room we meet something those maps do not exhaust.

This compendium re-reads adult ADHD as subjective and relational experience, holding together two things often presented as alternatives, the biological datum and psychic meaning. It does not argue against neurobiology; it works alongside it, in the space the deficit model leaves uncovered.

WHO IT IS FOR
Psychodynamically or analytically oriented psychotherapists working with adult patients who have an ADHD diagnosis, or are suspected of one, and who want to work without reducing the person to their executive functioning.

INSIDE (13 chapters and a practical appendix)
• The debate, neurobiological category or reading of the symptom?
• The psychic function of attention and its collapse (Bion, containment)
• Developmental origins in mirroring, regulation and holding (Winnicott)
• The clinical picture re-read in session
• Differential diagnosis with anxiety, dissociation and trauma, and borderline functioning
• Transference and countertransference with the ADHD patient
• Adapting setting and technique without betraying the frame
• Coping in a psychodynamic key, beyond the "tricks"
• Medication and psychodynamic work
• Composite clinical vignettes
• Common errors and false myths
• Appendix with a psychodynamic reading grid for the assessment interview and a countertransference observation sheet, ready to use

WHAT YOU GET
• PDF, 19 pages, instant download, no shipping

PLEASE NOTE
This is a digital product intended for continuing professional education. It does not replace clinical training, supervision or the diagnostic judgment of the individual clinician. All clinical vignettes are composite and fictional. Because of the nature of digital downloads, this listing is non-refundable once the files have been accessed.

If the question of early adversity keeps coming up with your patients, ADHD and Relational Trauma takes this reading further, across 49 pages.

WHO WROTE IT
I'm Alberto Del Bove, a psychologist and psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapist trained in Rome, in private practice with adults. Everything in The Consulting Room is written and clinically reviewed by me, and most of it started as material I needed in my own sessions before it became something to share.

If you have a question before buying, or you want to know whether this fits the way you work, send me a message through Etsy and I will answer personally. If it turns out to be useful, a short review helps other clinicians find it.
