Review
"This is one of the few state-of-the-science yet clinically sensitive works that puts forth a rich theoretical and conceptual framework in which to understand, assess, treat, and prevent a diversity of childhood disorders. The third edition comes at a particularly important time, when empirical support for various treatments is growing dramatically. Each up-to-date and scholarly chapter is written by seasoned clinician-researchers who present developmentally sensitive and effective ways to intervene with children and their families. This is a stellar book, one that is suitable for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and clinical child psychology interns and child psychiatry residents. It will be of considerable interest to seasoned practitioners as well."--Thomas H. Ollendick, PhD, Child Study Center and Department of Psychology, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
"The field has been rewarded--the third edition of this leading text is now available! This up-to-date volume, like its predecessors, stands tall as an authoritative text on the treatments for disorder in youth. Chapters are authored by leading scholars who also bring clinically informed treatment expertise to their presentations. Contemporary issues (e.g., empirically supported treatments) are given appropriate and ample coverage, and each disorder receives a thorough and integrative review. This well-informed synthesis of the latest information is ideal for a graduate text or for professional reading and reference."--Philip C. Kendall, PhD, Child and Adolescent Anxiety Disorders Clinic, Temple University
"Provides the clinician with a major update of the many recent advances in the treatment of childhood and adolescent psychopathology. The volume covers all the major developmental, emotional, and behavioral disorders of young people, and while the focus is on treatment, each chapter also contains a concise and up–to-date review of current knowledge regarding clinical assessment and etiologies. For each disorder discussed in the book, the clinician will come away with an excellent sense of the standard of care for that disorder."--Steven R. Pliszka, MD, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
"An impressive compilation of chapters by distinguished authors in their respective fields, covering the major domains related to common childhood psychopathology....This landmark book, now in its third edition, provides the current state of knowledge about treatment intervention within these domains....An outstanding text for a graduate-level childhood intervention course...contemporary, highly readable, and provides a solid overview of treatment for common childhood presenting problems....Its ability to parsimoniously convey extensive information in a manner that is easily accessible to readers facilitates the advancement of treatment for childhood psychopathology by transferring treatment knowledge from the research laboratory to the clinical office."--Jennifer J. McGrath, PhD, Canadian Psychology
