>Does psychotherapy address attention deficits?
According to a recent report (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1388245713012285) in Clinical Neurophysiology, adults with A.D.D. were shown to benefit from mindfulness training combined with cognitive therapy; their improvements in mental performance were comparable to those achieved by subjects taking medications.
>how long does psychotherapy take to work in the treatment of attentional symptoms in pediatric ADHD?
Most behavior modification strategies take 8 to 12 weeks to implement.
>It has been reported recently that adult ADD is not necessarily a continuation of childhood ADHD.
if you have adhd as an adult you had it as a child. ADHD is not something that develops later in life. Adult ADHD is an extension of childhood ADHD but the symptoms in adults may manifest differently and are often more subtle.
