Treatment of Childhood Disorders (3rd Edition)
Now in a fully revised third edition, this major professional reference and text offers an authoritative review of evidence-based treatments for the most prevalent child and adolescent disorders. Leading contributors provide foundational knowledge for working with children and families using techniques grounded in the best science available. Notable for the breadth and depth of its coverage, the volume has been updated throughout to reflect ongoing conceptual and empirical advances, the extension of cognitive-behavioral strategies into new areas, and other important developments in the field. Following an introductory overview, expertly written chapters address the treatment of anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autistic spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, the effects of maltreatment, substance use, and more. Intervention activities and service delivery models described range from primary prevention programs to focused, intensive treatments for severe and chronic problems. Authors describe the theoretical underpinnings of each approach, how and by whom the interventions are delivered, the specific procedures and techniques used, and the status of the empirical evidence. Concise, up-to-date information on the nature and diagnosis of the various disorders is also included. Featuring extensive discussions of combined and multimodal therapies, the third edition emphasizes the importance of flexible, individualized treatment planning. Increased attention is also given to how gender, developmental, family, and cultural factors may influence outcome, and how well each approach is likely to translate into real-world clinical settings. Summarizing the state of the science of child mental health practice--and identifying crucial directions for future investigation--this comprehensive work is a definitive reference for practitioners, researchers, and students in child clinical psychology and related fields. It will serve as a core text in advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses.
