Summary
The Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS) is an empirically based tool for evaluating dimensions of adult executive functioning in daily life. Evidence indicates that the BDEFS is far more predictive of impairments in major life activities than more time-consuming and costly traditional EF tests. BDEFS offers an ecologically valid snapshot of the capacities involved in time management; organization and problem solving; self-restraint; self-motivation; and self-regulation of emotions. Purchasers get a limited license to photocopy the forms and score sheets without the expense of reordering materials from the publisher. Provided are both self- and other-reports in a long form (15–20 minutes) and a short form (4–5 minutes). Special features include an adult ADHD risk index in the long form. This book will be invaluable to clinical and forensic psychologists; neuropsychologists; social workers; psychiatrists; psychopathology researchers.

Critics Review
“The BDEFS is a much-needed, clinically relevant tool. This exceptionally well-written manual includes a detailed description of the scale’s development, psychometric properties and norms, scoring, and clinical interpretation, as well as the forms themselves. The limited photocopy license clearly enhances the clinical utility of the BDEFS. All professionals responsible for assessing and understanding adults suffering the burden of executive dysfunction will find this scale highly useful and beneficial.” - Rosemary Tannock, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education; Department of Medicine, University of Toronto, Canada and Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada “Barkley has created a rating scale that is quick and easy to administer and score. The BDEFS provides valuable information regarding specific executive functioning deficits, including those found in ADHD. This scale does what a good assessment instrument should: not only does it answer questions regarding diagnosis, but it also helps clinicians identify target skills and behaviors for intervention.” - Peg Dawson, Center for Learning and Attention Disorders, Seacoast Mental Health Center, New Hampshire, USA
