Improvement of emotion regulation skills in adolescents with ADHD
Project description
In this study, we have designed a treatment where adolescents with ADHD receive knowledge about emotions and strategies to better manage such emotions in challenging situations. Initially, we will evaluate the emotion regulation training programme using a single-case design. In the future, we plan to include a randomized controlled trial in order to evaluate efficacy. The treatment is based on established theories of emotion regulation and cognitive behavioural therapy.
