Widely regarded as the definitive practitioner reference and teaching
text, this book provides a complete introduction to doing
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with 6- to 18-year-olds. The authors
offer a blueprint for formulating cases and tailoring treatment to each
child's or adolescent's unique developmental and clinical needs.
Coverage includes how to orient children and families to cognitive
therapy, structure each session, and implement a wide range of CBT
techniques. Rich case material illustrates ways that CBT can help
children struggling with specific emotional and behavioral problems.
Reproducible forms and handouts can be downloaded and printed in a
