“…This corresponds with an earlier meta-analysis of behavioral interventions for ADHD, which reported medium-sized effects on both positive and negative parenting, as measured by probably blinded assessments 5 . These robust effects of behavioral parent training on parenting outcomes are imperative, as improvements in parenting are a prerequisite to ultimately lead to improvements in child functioning, as these are the core mediators of change 6,8,9 .…”

“…There is consistent evidence that parent training for children with ADHD is less likely to improve the child's behavior when negative parenting practices such as harsh and inconsistent discipline do not decrease [6][7][8] . Furthermore, increased parenting sense of competence and decreased parenting stress after parent training has repeatedly been found to be associated with behavioral improvements of children with ADHD 9,10 .…”

“…There is also evidence that cognitive behavioral therapy may improve ADHD core symptoms [see meta-analyses of ( 45 – 49 )], but only a few RCTs have comprehensively evaluated psychosocial outcomes such as QoL or self-concept in youth. For example, Larsen et al ( 50 ) reported improved QoL after parent-training for preschoolers. In the study of Ferrin et al ( 51 ), a program for parents of children/adolescents with ADHD including psychoeducation improved the pro-social domain.…”

“…Another study by Kousha and Kakrodi ( 52 ) also evaluated psychoeducational training for mothers which raised the QoL of their children with ADHD. There is thus good evidence that parent training interventions and psychoeducation may improve QoL of children with ADHD ( 50 – 52 ). However, evaluations of interventions directly addressing self-management are currently rare; most of these studies dwell on ADHD core symptoms as primary outcomes, often ignoring QoL and self-concept ( 53 – 55 ).…”

ObjectivesNeurofeedback (NF) and self-management training (SMT) may be viable treatment options for patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) if they alleviate core symptoms, enhance the patients’ self-concept and improve their quality of life (QoL). Aim of the current study is evaluating both interventions accordingly and to test whether specific improvements in core symptoms lead to more general improvements in self-concept and QoL.MethodsIn a psychotherapeutic outpatient clinic in Germany, a total of N = 139 children with ADHD were screened for eligibility, of which 111 fulfilled inclusion criteria and participated in the study in accordance with the CONSORT 2010 statement. These were randomly assigned to NF vs. SMT interventions. Changes from pre- to post-intervention in core ADHD symptoms relying on parent and teacher reports (CONNERS 3) and objective tests (Qb-Test) as well as self-concept (interview with the children) and QoL assessments (using the KINDL-R self-report) were compared between patients receiving NF or SMT.ResultsSignificant improvements in ADHD symptoms were achieved similarly in both treatment groups, whilst QoL and self-concept improved after SMT only.ConclusionThis treatment study provides further evidence that SMT and NF may reduce core symptoms, but SMT may also improve patients’ self-concept and QoL and may thus in its current form be the favorable treatment option in naturalistic settings. However, several limitations of the current study implicate that further research is required before definitive conclusions and recommendations for clinical practice can be given.Clinical trial registration[www.clinicaltrials.gov], identifier [NCT01879644].

“…As a senior editorial team, we place great importance on reviewing and publishing articles that report on the outcomes of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that are important for informing the preventive and clinical care that we provide to children and their families. This year is no exception, with many important articles on psychotherapy 1,2 and psychopharmacological treatments/neurotherapeutics. 3,4 In discussing the selection of the "best" articles on therapeutics that we published in 2021, we found ourselves turning our attention to articles that examine how treatments are being used in real-world practice.…”

Journal, an embarrassment of riches, and picking a "best" seems to demand a certain qualification: is the "best" the most interesting, most surprising, most educational, most important, most provocative, most enjoyable? How to choose? We are hardly unbiased and can admit to a special affection for the ones that we and the authors worked hardest on, hammering version after version into shape. Acknowledging these biases, here are the 2021 articles that we think deserve your attention or at least a second read.
