About the Book
Evidence based and practical, this book presents state-of-the-science approaches for helping students who struggle with aggressive behaviors, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism. It explains the fundamentals of cognitive-behavioral intervention and reviews exemplary programs that offer powerful ways to reach at-risk children and adolescents. Leading authorities thoroughly describe the process of assessment, treatment planning, implementation, and program evaluation. What makes the book unique is its focus on the nitty-gritty of school-based intervention, including how to integrate mental health services into the special education system, overcome obstacles, and provide needed skills to school personnel. This book will be important reading for practitioners in special education, school psychology, and child clinical psychology; others providing school-based services to students with EBDs. It will also serve as a supplemental text in graduate-level courses dealing with EBDs and cognitive-behavioral interventions.

Review :
"Filling a critical void in the literature, this book illuminates the exciting potential of cognitive-behavioral interventions in school-based practice... The impressive collection of scholar-authors steers clear of hyperbole in favor of more dispassionate examinations of what the science is saying. Their approach leaves the reader informed, optimistic, and energized." - Jim Larson, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Wisconsin, USA "This book is a prize for clinicians, researchers, and students alike. The editors have assembled valuable chapters that address theoretical, methodological, and clinical issues. Most impressively, the contributors tackle the often harsh realities that confront clinicians doing cognitive-behavioral therapy in real-world settings. Further, they seamlessly integrate pivotal developmental and ethnocultural variables." - Robert D. Friedberg, Penn State Milton Hershey Medical Center, Pennsylvania, USA
