Handbook of Psychotherapies with Children and Families

This handbook presents a comprehensive overview of the array of intervention approaches in the child mental health field. Its coverage reflects late-1990s trends of intervention with specific problems and populations, empirical support of the approach, and the integration of treatment approaches, proceeding from global presentations of basic theoretical approaches to applications with specific problems and populations. Highlights of the text include its focus on future directions for research and clinical practice, a structured format across diverse interventions with a focus on empirical validation, and interventions that integrate different theoretical components.
