Grounded in a comprehensive model of Tourette Syndrome (TS) and
related disorders, this state-of-the-art volume provides a
multidisciplinary framework for assessment and treatment. Leading
authorities present the latest knowledge on the neurobehavioral
underpinnings of TS, its clinical presentation, and how to
distinguish it from frequently encountered co-occurring disorders,
such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and
attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Strategies for managing
symptoms and providing effective support to children and families
are thoroughly detailed, with an emphasis on integrating medication
and psychosocial therapies. Several chapters also address clinical
work with adults with TS. User friendly and practical, the book
includes three reproducible assessment tools.
Bringing together leading authorities, this volume synthesizes the
breadth of current research on child and adolescent treatment into
a practical handbook for students and clinicians. The book was
inspired by the preeminent work on adult disorders, Clinical
Handbook of Psychological Disorders (now in its sixth edition),
edited by David H. Barlow. It provides a concise overview of the
disorders most commonly encountered in clinical practice and
details evidence-based treatment approaches, largely grounded in
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Procedures for assessment,
diagnosis, case formulation, intervention, and progress monitoring
are illustrated with rich extended case examples, including session
transcripts. The book addresses nuts-and-bolts issues such as how
to set up each session, what to cover, and how to broach difficult
topics with children and parents. See also Clinical Handbook of
Psychological Disorders, Sixth Edition (on adults), edited by David
H. Barlow.
