Psychosocial Treatments for Child and Adolescent Disorders - Empirically Based Strategies for Clinical Practice (Hardcover, Second Edition)

Written for practitioners, treatment researchers, professors and students, health care administrators, and others who make decisions about mental health treatment services for children and adolescents. Because the field continues to debate which treatments are efficacious with which disorders, this book describes the empirically supported treatments for the major disorders encountered in clinical practice with this population, such as anxiety, affective, attention deficit, autistic, and conduct disorders. The last section of the book deals with treatments not specific to a disorder, such as trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy for sexually abused children. Authors fully describe their treatment strategies, present these treatments in their environmental contexts, provide source information on the manuals, and include more "real world" variables, such as complex social environments and comorbid conditions. They also examine the limitations, issues of generalizability, and the future directions of research and practice in their area of expertise. The result is a comprehensive and useful reference that will be an invaluable resource.
