Abstract
Reviews and evaluates psychosocial treatments for attention deficit hy peractivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents according to T ask Force Criteria (Lonigan, Elbert, & Johnson, this issue). It is con cluded that behavioral parent training and behavioral interventions in the classroom meet criteria for well-established treatments. Cognitiv e interventions do not meet criteria for well-established or probably efficacious treatments. Issues regarding the evaluative process are di scussed and future directions for psychosocial treatment for ADHD are outlined.
