Adjunctive strategies that effectively incorporate adolescents’ developmental needs may augment the therapeutic benefits of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This preliminary study evaluated a combined CBT and music-based treatment designed to enhance emotion-regulation skills in adolescents with ADHD. Utilizing a single-case experimental design, eight adolescents with ADHD were assigned to a 3-week baseline assessment phase followed by 12 weekly individual sessions of treatment and a 2-month follow-up phase. The intervention was effective in reducing the core symptoms of ADHD, such that, participants showed an increase in adaptive emotion-regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal) and decrease in maladaptive emotion-regulation strategies (expressive suppression). The intervention was also found to be highly acceptable to participants. The findings provide initial support for combining standard CBT with music-based treatment designed to enhance emotion-regulation skills, and add to the growing body of literature showing that adjunctive strategies can augment the therapeutic benefits of CBT for adolescents with ADHD.

BACKGROUND: One way of delivering psychological services is tele-psychotherapy, which has attracted significant attention as a viable approach. This study aimed to identify important variables in the application of tele-counseling and psychotherapy for the treatment of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in Isfahan, Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This research employed an exploratory qualitative methodology. The participants of this study consisted of all the clients with OCD and all the psychotherapists in the city of Isfahan. Purposive sampling was employed, and following a series of semi-structured interviews with 35 individuals with OCD and 11 counselors in this area, the sample size reached a saturation point. The data was analyzed by Braun and Clark’s thematic analysis method. RESULTS: Based on the findings of Braun and Clark’s analysis, three primary themes emerged concerning tele-counseling: opportunities, requirements, and challenges. CONCLUSION: According to the feedback received from therapists and clients, remote services could offer promising prospects to both groups by providing accessible locations and flexible time management. However, to get the full benefits of teletherapy, therapists should consider certain factors to enhance the therapeutic alliance. Moreover, there are challenges that need to be addressed.
