Caring for the mental health of children and their families is
complex and challenging-and meaningful. For Christian clinicians
who work with childhood disorders, however, few resources exist to
address such treatment from a research-based Christian integration
perspective. Treatment of Childhood Disorders fills this gap by
combining biblical and theological understanding with current
psychological literature on empirically supported treatments for
children. Sarah E. Hall and Kelly S. Flanagan present an integrated
approach based in developmental psychopathology, which offers a
dynamic, multifaceted framework from which to understand the
processes that affect children's development. In this unique
textbook, Hall and Flanagan consider a variety of disorders
commonly diagnosed in children and adolescents, including anxiety,
depression, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder. After discussing
prevalence, risk and causal factors, patterns throughout
development, and assessment, they focus on evidence-based practices
that have been found to be effective in treating the disorders.
Each chapter also features ideas for Christian integration in
treatment and an extended case study that brings the content to
life. Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS) Books
explore how Christianity relates to mental health and behavioral
sciences including psychology, counseling, social work, and
marriage and family therapy in order to equip Christian clinicians
to support the well-being of their clients.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the fastest-growing
psychotherapy in the world today, largely because it has been
clinically-tested and found effective for a broad range of
psychiatric and psychological problems. CBT has strong clinical
support from both clients and clinicians who like its collaborative
process that uses practical tools and strategies for solving
everyday problems.
The challenge for many clinicians is finding practical ways to
integrate empirically-supported therapies into everyday clinical
practice with clients. While there are many outstanding books on
the theory and practice of cognitive-behavioral therapies, the CBT
Skills Workbook provides over 100 of the top hands-on practical
worksheets and exercises to help clinicians integrate CBT into
practice. The exercises and worksheets are designed to provide
powerful tools that can be used in individual or group sessions and
as homework assignments.
