Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for Children and
Adolescents provides readers with the defining fundamentals of CBT
in an accessible, down-to-earth style. In addition, a well-integrated,
developmentally appropriate approach is detailed for a number of the mental
disorders and conditions that are most common among children and
adolescents. This unique work provides the following:
• Explications of innovative CBT techniques in the treatment of
children with chronic physical illness and depressive, bipolar, anxiety
(including OCD and PTSD), eating, elimination, and disruptive behavior
disorders
• A comprehensive chapter features the clinical implications
and applications of combining CBT with psychopharmacological treatment
•
Videos on the accompanying DVD demonstrate CBT techniques with children or
adolescents with depression, anxiety, OCD, eating disorder, medical illness,
and disruptive behavior disorder
• Guidance for integrating parents and
families into the child's treatment is shared for every disorder covered in
the book
• Extensive case examples, key clinical points, and
self-assessment questions and answers will further equip readers to
effectively and thoughtfully apply CBT
• Useful chapter appendixes
include accessible tables of CBT concepts; patient and parent handouts; and
clinical exercises, activities, and tools that further augment the
text
• Finally, because factors such as race, ethnicity, religion,
immigration status, and sexual orientation may affect the therapeutic
relationship, diagnosis, and treatment of patients, a separate chapter on
conducting effective CBT with culturally diverse children and adolescents is
provided.
Clinicians will gain a robust understanding of CBT practice with children and adolescents—so that they can also do it—and do it effectively. This unique, easy-to-use guide is an invaluable and worthy reference for all mental health practitioners who work with children and adolescents. No other text on the subject will match it.
