The aim of this book on psychotherapies with children and families
is to present a comprehensive overview of the current array of
intervention approaches in the child mental health field. There is
a focus on the integration of theory, research, and practice
throughout the book. The book proceeds from the more global pre
sentations of basic theoretical approaches to applications of these
approaches with specific problems and populations. It then presents
more integrated intervention approaches and overviews of the
research literature. One of the unique features of this book is its
focus on future directions for each approach, both in clinical prac
tice and in research. A second unique feature is its structured
format across di verse approaches with a focus on empirical
validation of approaches. Another innovation is the presentation of
interventions that integrate major components of different
theoretical approaches. Thus, the book reflects the current trends
in the field of interventions with specific problems and
populations, empirical valida tion of the approach, and the
integration of treatment approaches. There are five major sections
in this book. Part I consists of four chapters that address a
variety of issues related to child psychotherapy. Chapter 1 by the
editors examines the historical roots of child psychotherapy and
explores current trends in the treatment of diverse child
disorders. It emphasizes the movement to "treat ments that work"
and sets the stage for the chapters that follow.
