Summary

From leading scientist-practitioners, this book presents empirically supported interventions that have been carefully adapted--or specially designed--to meet the needs of children and adolescents and their families. Each chapter reviews the literature on a specific clinical problem and presents an extended case example demonstrating the process of assessment and treatment. The volume's strong theoretical framework and careful balance of scholarly and practical concerns enhance its utility as a clinical reference and text. A new preface to the paperback edition situates the book within the context of contemporary research developments.
