Treatment of disorders in childhood and adolescence

Description

This definitive practitioner reference and course text comprehensively reviews evidence-based treatments for psychological disorders in children and adolescents. The volume begins with several foundational chapters that guide the reader to think and work as an evidence-based practitioner. Subsequent sections cover treatments for specific clinical problems documented in DSM-5, as well as common presenting issues that do not fit neatly into traditional diagnostic categories. Each well-organized chapter identifies effective psychosocial, pharmacological, and complementary treatments and uses session-by-session examples to illustrate implementation of a recommended approach. — From publisher’s description
