Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy for Children and Families (Hardcover)

Cognitive behaviour therapy is a treatment approach which has been demonstrated to be the most effective form of treatment for many childhood disorders. This volume provides an account of cognitive behavioural approaches to psychological problems in children, adolescents, and their families. The text is structured developmentally passing from pre-school through to adolescence. Each author focuses on a specific disorder and provides a rationale for treatment before proceeding to describe assessment and therapy illustrated by detailed case examples. The context of multimodal therapy is also highlighted along with visions for the scope of future research.
