Therapy Cafe - Nurturing Beautiful Brains: ADHD and Behavior Management Training

Managing behaviors typically associated with ADHD can be challenging for parents and caregivers, but behavior management training (BMT) offers an evidence-based approach to help. In this episode of Therapy Cafe, Marjorie Morrison, LMFT, LPCC, co-founder of Psych Hub, speaks to Dr. Dylann Gold, a clinical psychologist and expert in child and adolescent attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and parent and caregiver training. Dr. Gold dives into the clinical presentation of ADHD and the critical role BMT plays in supporting children and their caregivers. She explores the key principles of behavior therapy, the effective application of BMT techniques, and the importance of consistency. Dr. Gold also touches on the value of psychoeducation for caregivers and the potential role of medication alongside BMT.
