Cognitive-behavioral Therapy with Children (Paperback)

"This book addresses some of the toughest challenges facing practicing clinicians - the treatment of anxious and depressed children who don't 'fit the mould.' Dr. Manassis' experience shines through with a strong blend of scientific rigor and practical application. Whether you work in community settings, private practice, or even research, this book will give you a myriad of new ideas." - Ronald M. Rapee, Professor of Psychology and Director, Centre for Emotional Health, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia "Dr. Manassis scores big with this one! Cognitive Behavior Therapy with Children is an uncommonly useful book for practicioners at all levels of experience. Appropriately circumspect, Dr. Manassis cautions against mindless use of manuals and calls for sound clinical judgment in everyday clinical practice. She stays the course and takes the principles and procedures of CBT 'to the street' where they are so desperately needed for the children and families we serve. It is a book whose time has come." - Thomas Ollendick, University Distinguished Professor and Director of the Child Study Center, Virginia Tech, USA "Filled with clinical wisdom, solid research evidence, and practical strategies, this guide will help clinicians bring CBT for childhood anxiety disorders into the real world of daily clinical practice." - E. Jane Garland, Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
