"In this book, child and adolescent counselors in school and clinical settings will find comprehensive and contemporary information for working with young clients. Ziomek-Daigle and the chapter authors have provided a thorough, highly readable resource that compiles theories, counseling strategies, and evidence-based practices into one compelling book. Case studies, setting-sensitive insights, and research are interwoven with compassion for both client and clinician. I highly recommend it as a must have for anyone working with young clients."Colette T. Dollarhide, EdD, NCC, ACS, LPC-S (OH), associate professor of counselor education, Ohio State University"Ziomek-Daigle’s Counseling Children and Adolescents is superior! Readers will enjoy the practical focus and clearly described evidence-based practices specific to counseling children and adolescents. The author skillfully infuses relevant and common ethical and legal issues in a most helpful manner. Counseling Children and Adolescents has practical applications for both entry-level counselors-in-training as well as more seasoned school and mental health counselors seeking evidence-based interventions for youth."Gerald A. Juhnke, EdD, LPC, NCC, MAC, ACS, ACA, fellow/professor, University of Texas at San Antonio"Counseling Children and Adolescents is a ‘one-stop shop’ type of textbook that packs in everything: child development, assessment, diagnosis, ethics, evidence-based practices, and current trends. This book goes beyond most in addressing social justice advocacy for children and adolescents who experience immigration, trauma, natural disasters, and grief. Descriptions of creativity, expressive arts, and play therapy combined with details of evidence-based strategies will help readers fill their cart with practical tools."Jennifer Baggerly, PhD, LPC-S, RPT-S, professor of counseling and play therapy, University of North Texas at Dallas"Counseling Children and Adolescents is a masterfully written textbook that bridges valuable knowledge and insight with practical application. Diagnosis and treatment strategies are theoretically grounded, and thoughtfully conceptualized case illustrations frame the real-world challenges of children and adolescents. This book is both captivating and instructive, providing a wonderful foundation for counseling students and child, adolescent, and family practitioners. I wholeheartedly recommend it!"Thelma Duffey, PhD, professor and chair, University of Texas at San Antonio, immediate past president, American Counseling Association, founder, Association for Creativity in Counseling
