Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common and impairing disorder affecting children, adolescents, and adults. Due to the increasing range of available options, selection and prioritization of treatments is becoming harder for clinicians. This review aims to provide a review of the literature on evidence-based psychotherapy treatments for ADHD supplemented by expert opinion on plausibility of symptoms improvement. In this paper, several meta-studies, which were conducted mainly in the United State and Korea were reviewed. As a result, behavioral parental training, behavioral classroom management, behavioral peer relationship intervention, and a combination of behavioral techniques were suggested as psychological treatment techniques. These techniques have been repeatedly proven to be effective in well-designed studies. In Korean studies, the effectiveness of non-behavioral techniques such as play therapy or art therapy has been demonstrated. These findings of this review are likely to be influenced by a number of factors such as research design, use of a control group, and measurement selection. Better designed follow-up studies are needed.
