Evidence-Based Psychotherapies for Children and Adolescents: Third Edition

Widely regarded as the standard reference and text, this book has introduced tens of thousands of clinicians and students to exemplary treatment approaches for social, emotional, and behavioral problems in children and youth. In concise, focused chapters, leading authorities review the conceptual underpinnings of their respective therapies, 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 disseminating evidence-based treatments in real-world clinical contexts.
