In recent years there has been an increase in research into
childhood depression, and it is now recognised that depression can
severely impair young people in many aspects of their life, school,
peer and social relationships, and frequently persists into
adulthood.
Depression: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with Children and Young
People provides an accessible guide to recognising and treating
depression in young people. Based on a successful manual developed
for research trials, this book presents an overview of a cognitive
behavioural model for working with this age group, as well as
practical ideas about how to start therapy. Topics covered
include:
- engaging young people
- setting goals for therapy
- cognitive behaviour assessment and formulation
- solutions for problems practitioners may face
- encouraging parents and agencies to support therapy.
Depression includes case examples and practical tips to prepare
the practitioner for working with young people. Information is
presented in a readable and practical style making this book ideal
for professionals working in child and adolescent mental health
services, as well as those in training. It will also be a useful
guide for people working in community services for young
people.
