Ultimately, this form of therapy aims to promote rational or logical analysis of thoughts and circumstantial triggers, and to understand the consequences they have in the patient’s thinking and behavior (Antshel et al., 2012). The positive outcomes of CBT have been consistently reported in the literature. Empirical data supports the finding that patients who underwent CBT displayed a decrease in ADHD symptomatology (Antshel et al., 2012).
