Purchase options and add-ons

First published in 2003. Children's Friendship Training is a complete manualized guide for therapists treating children with peer problems. This unique, empirically validated treatment is the first to integrate parents into the therapy process to ensure generalization to school and home.

Representing over twelve years of research, Children's Friendship Training presents the comprehensive social skills training program developed by these pioneering authors. Step-by-step interventions help children develop the skills to initiate mutually satisfying social interactions. These interactions can lead to higher regard within the peer group and the development of satisfying dyadic relationships that will, in turn, serve to enhance overall well being.

Clinical and empirical rationales, illustrative case examples and parent handouts that educate parents and give specific guidelines for homework assignments are presented for each treatment module. Brief relevant reviews of the child development literature and selective reviews of assessment techniques and other approached to children's social skills training are presented to sufficiently acquaint therapists interested in implementing children's friendship training.

Hi, I'm Fred Frankel, author of “Good Friends are Hard to find: Help your child find make and keep friends.” Perspective Publishing, 1996. This, my first book, was translated into six languages, adopted by over 500 libraries and won a National Parenting Publication award. Recently, I have updated this book for today’s parents. I published it as, “Friends forever: How parents can help their kids make and keep good friends.” San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 2010.

Before I wrote these books, I developed Children’s Friendship Training, a class that teaches children how to make and keep friends. Over the years, I have helped over 1,500 children at UCLA with friendship problems. I have learned much from the children I have helped, as well as from my own children, now ages 26, 9 and 6. Recently, my colleagues and I studied what happened to some of the children 3 years after they finished my class. I was gratified to learn that many of them not only continued to have friends but were regularly getting invited on play dates.

I helped to develop the same kinds of techniques for teens, co-writing for therapists, “Social skills for teenagers with developmental and Autism Spectrum Disorders: The PEERS treatment manual.” New York: Brunner-Routledge Publishers, 2010. I also wanted to help teachers help teens to fit in and co-wrote, “Social skills success for students with Autism/ Aspergers: Helping adolescents on the spectrum fit in.” San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 2011.

As I continue to teach friendship skills, I realize that our social world is always changing. Parents and children are constantly faced with new challenges. My best teachers are the parents and children I help, my own children and my readers. I encourage you to write to me with your observations, comments and concerns. My email is ffrankel@mednet.ucla.edu.

3.0 out of 5 stars not what I expected

I didn't realize it's more about a parent/child skills group. It's also a straightforward, this is how you do it book that would be helpful if you can do this exactly the way the author writes about it. It's probably not what many can arrange to do, depends on your agency.

5.0 out of 5 stars Children's Friendship Training
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2008
Children's Friendship Training is a welcome addition to the social skills
literature.
Social isolation is a major factor in childhood depression. Cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic treatment approaches are often of great value
in the treatment of childhood mood disorders. However, many treatment modalities do not address the importance of friendship formations in childhood and adolescent disorders. Frankel and Myatt offer a researched based manualized guide that can be integrated into clinical practice. I intend to use this model in my private practice.
