Widely regarded as the standard reference and text on
evidence-based therapies--and now substantially revised--this book
has introduced tens of thousands of clinicians and students to
exemplary treatments for social, emotional, and behavioral problems
in children and youth. Concise chapters focus on specific
psychotherapy models. The developers of the respective approaches
review their conceptual underpinnings, describe how interventions
are delivered on a session-by-session basis, and summarize what the
research shows about treatment effectiveness. The book explores
important questions and challenges facing the field and identifies
best practices for treatment dissemination in real-world clinical
contexts. New to This Edition: *Existing chapters significantly
revised with the latest treatment research. *Chapters on
assessment, personalizing evidence-based therapies, clinical
implications of developmental psychopathology, and advances in
neuroscience. *Coverage of additional clinical problems
(self-injury and suicidal ideation, bulimia nervosa, encopresis)
and treatments (Early Start Denver Model for autism spectrum
disorder, Internet-assisted and technology-enhanced interventions).
*Chapters on implementation in complex mental health systems, as
well as international models.
*Concise and practical: experts present skill units based on five
core principles of change, giving providers maximum flexibility to
tailor treatments to children's (ages 6 to 15) unique needs. *FIRST
is an alternative to manuals that address a single problem, can be
used with simple or complex cases, and is efficient to learn. *The
treatment is empirically based but designed for real-world
community practice; includes reproducible parent handouts in
English and Spanish. *Each skill unit is effective used on its own,
of key benefit for youths who may not stay in treatment long.
In this book, a clinical scientist highlights youth psychotherapies
that have been tested and shown to work. Treatments for fears and
anxiety, depression, attention deficits and ADHD, and conduct
problems and disorder are described in detail, their conceptual
basis explained, their clinical application illustrated by richly
developed case examples, and their prospects for use in clinical
practice examined closely. This clinical perspective is
complemented by summaries and critiques of the empirical evidence
on each treatment and by commentaries on what questions remain
unanswered. The author's clinical and scientific experience
converge to produce a uniquely valuable experience on exemplary
treatments for children and adolescents.

In Effects of Psychotherapy with Children and Adolescents, the
authors provide an authoritative overview of the practice and study
of child and adolescent psychotherapy. Research findings on the
effects of child psychotherapy are pooled through the use of
meta-analytic procedures and then analyzed and summarized by the
authors. They discuss methods for increasing the effectiveness of
everyday therapy and offer suggestions for future research. "This
short book should be carefully read and its message thoroughly
internalized by every professional who is involved in any way in
either deciding about therapy for a child, vending or providing
therapy for children, evaluating therapy for children, and imposing
therapy on children." --Issues in Child Abuse Accusations "Overall,
the book is an excellent orientation to the question of the
effectiveness of psychological interventions for children and
provides a good set of directions for future research. Although
most of the material is available elsewhere in the form of
individual articles, this highly accessible comparison and
synthesis of outcomes is worthwhile reading for practicing
clinicians and researchers alike. . . . The book would be a very
suitable introduction to questions concerning the efficacy of
therapy for children and adolescents. It should be essential
reading for clinicians in training who plan to work with children,
and is a useful integration of the research literature for
researchers and practitioners as well." --Contemporary Psychology
