The paper presents the results of a controlled study that had the purpose to test the efficiency of a complex plan for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. This therapeutic plan combines metaphorical scenarios adapted for therapeutic intervention in small groups of hyperactive children with special groups of professional optimisation organised for the teachers of these children. The subjects were 40 children diagnosed with ADHD, combined type. One-way ANOVA showed that there is a significant difference between the four groups on each criterion (p<.05). Bonferoni Post-hoc multiple comparisons tests showed that this difference is due to the mean scores for the control group, significantly different from the experimental groups.
