Review

'The editors fulfill their goals admirably, providing a wealth of scientific knowledge and integrating it with clinical experience... In managing to bring closer together the rigors of science and the demands of practice, this handbook is well worth readers' attention.' - Child and Family Behavior Therapy

'This volume stands out by virtue of the authors, all of whom are leaders in their respective fields... Covering a wide range of child and adolescent disorders, this book will serve as an excellent text for graduate-level courses in evidence-based treatment.' - Anne D. Simons, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Oregon, USA

From the Back Cover

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.

Reading around my subject for OU Psychology degree.
Am currently reading for a Psychology degree and I found this book informative although a bit heavy on words sometimes. All in all, a really helpful book pulling together data from a great many sources.
