Abstract
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent disorder in adulthood. Deficits in executive functions and emotion regulation are common and persistent in ADHD. Therefore, they are not specific to the psychopathology of adult ADHD. They impair functioning and lead to negative social, family, and occupational quality of life outcomes. This chapter reviews executive function deficits and emotional dysregulation symptoms, including important theoretical issues. In addition, it examines the theoretical framework and the practical implications that are relevant to assessment measures of executive functions and emotional regulation symptoms. It continues with a description of several types of intervention that are currently used among adults with ADHD.
