Abstract
- Objective: The aim of this study was to identify individual therapy goals (ITGs) of children and adolescents with ADHD and their primary caregivers.<br />Methods: Within the evaluation of the selective contract for children and adolescents with ADHD in Bremerhaven, Germany, ITGs of 42 study participants (aged 8-17) and their primary caregivers were collected with the psychotherapy basis documentation for children and adolescents (Psy-BaDo-KJ). ITGs were analysed following the classification of categories for individual therapy goals (KITZ) and their modification for children and adolescents. Analysis focused on the most frequently named ITGs and the agreement of patients and primary caregivers ITGs on the individual level.<br />Results: 235 ITGs were named. The greatest proportion of ADHD patients and their caregivers (47%) focused on interactional, psychosocial conflicts. In 19% of the cases (n=8) patients and their caregivers had the same main goal. 38% of patients and of caregivers (n=16) named the other ones main goal in one of his/her ITGs as well.<br />Conclusions: ADHD patients and their primary caregivers both pursue ITGs related to ADHD symptoms. Few ITGs address medication related aspects. In case of differences in the ITGs of a patient and his/her primary caregivers, therapists should check whether differing ITGs address the same problem from different perspectives.<br /> (© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.)
