Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Evidence based and practical, this book presents state-of-the-science approaches for helping K-12 students who struggle with aggressive behaviors, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism. It explains the fundamentals of cognitive-behavioral intervention and reviews exemplary programs that offer powerful ways to reach at-risk children and adolescents. Leading authorities thoroughly describe the process of assessment, treatment planning, implementation, and program evaluation. What makes the book unique is its focus on the nitty-gritty of school-based intervention, including how to integrate mental health services into the special education system, overcome obstacles, and provide needed skills to school personnel. This book will be important reading for practitioners in special education, school psychology, and child clinical psychology; others providing school-based services to students with EBDs. It will also serve as a supplemental text in graduate-level courses dealing with EBDs and cognitive-behavioral interventions.
