Review :
'An absolutely stellar book. The contributors include leaders in child therapy who provide sophisticated views of both clinical domains and treatment and address a range of spheres, including cognition, affect, behavior, and social functioning. The third edition conveys in engaging detail the enormous advances that have occurred in child and adolescent therapy, the scope of domains that cognitively based treatments encompass, and the very promising effects one can expect from treatment. This book is one of very few that integrate research and theory with clinical examples and treatment excerpts. As such, it fills a crucial void in the literature for training mental health professionals.' - Alan E. Kazdin, PhD, Child Study Center, Yale University School of Medicine, USA
'Like its predecessors, this volume is a work of genuine quality, written by authorities in the field. Its coverage of interventions for youth with internalizing and externalizing conditions and other important problems, plus the thoughtful attention paid to developmental and treatment process issues, make the book an excellent resource for students and professionals.' - John R. Weisz, PhD, Judge Baker Children's Center, Harvard University, USA
'This is the definitive reference for psychotherapeutic interventions for this age group. The third edition comes at a time when empirical support for these treatments is growing dramatically, and when the field is looking for interventions that have the power to effect real change in the lives of children and adolescents. The volume is current and fresh, providing a comprehensive review while setting the stage for the next steps in therapy research... The text is very accessible and suitable for undergrads, graduate students, and child psychiatry residents - yet the scope, level of detail, and the references lists are such that seasoned practitioners will also want to have a copy.' - John T. Walkup, MD, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, USA
