Evidence-based Psychotherapies for Children and Adolescents

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.   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 (Norway, New Zealand, and England).
