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.
