"Particularly appealing is the 'how to' nature of the book. Whilst there are many books on the theroy of cognitive-behavioral practice, the use of cognitive-behavioral therapies with specified populations, and even the supervision of cognitive-behavioral therapy, there are no books that serve to guide the teaching of cognitive-behavioral therapy. The book outline has a well-designed format with the presentation of the essentials ("rudiments") followed by creative applications and useful clinical tools ("rubrics"). It is not often that a book brings together theory and practice in such a unique way. Additionally, the book is based on assumptions which are widely held by those who practice cognitive-behavioral therapy. The book fills an important gap and will serve to significantly enhance resident training programs.The work of Friedberg et al. will have a major impact on how cognitive-behavioral training is taught within the field of child psychiatry. The text outlines fundamental principles and offers creative applications of technique sure to result in enhanced efficacy." - Ellen Flannery-Schroeder, University of Rhode Island, USA"This book should be essential reading for all training courses in child CBT. It is truly outstanding. Excellent. A true gem." - Alan Carr, University College Dublin, Ireland
