Compact, authoritative guidance to effective assessment and
treatment of the most common psychological difficulties in children
and adolescents - phobia and anxiety disorders This authoritative
but compact text addresses the psychopathology, assessment, and
treatment of the anxiety disorders and phobias in childhood and
adolescence. These perplexing conditions are the most prevalent
psychological difficulties in young people and result in
considerable impairment and distress, not only to the child but
also to her or his family. Effective treatments exist, but
unfortunately many of these interventions are either not known to
the practicing professionals or not used by them. This volume aims
to address this gap and to present these interventions in a clear
and straightforward manner.
There has been an explosion of media attention on youth bullying
and peer victimization over the last decade, with cyberbullying
becoming more prevalent through the use of social media. While any
bullying has serious negative physical and mental health effects
which can lead the bullied individual to great despair and even
suicide, there are also negative outcomes for the bullies
themselves. This volume, written by leading experts, provides
clinicians with clear guidance on how to assess and treat this
complex behavior. In this evidence-based guide, practitioners learn
about bullying, its prevalence, how cyberbullying differs from
in-person bullying, what models are available for understanding how
bullying occurs, and the best tools and approaches for assessment
of these behaviors. The reader is guided through the most effective
school-based prevention programs that aim to reduce bullying, and a
clinical vignette gives hands-on insight into how a bullying case
in a school is managed. Additional resources are provided in an
appendix. This book is ideal for educational psychologists, child
psychologists, and anyone working with children and adolescents who
is committed to helping those being bullied.
