Mindfuless Therapy for Anxious Children: Therapist Training Manual (Professional) **Publication now delayed until 2012**

Author(s): RANDYE SEMPLE

Mindfulness

A complete and practical guide to effectively enhance the lives of children and adolescents who have anxiety. Adults rarely associate childhood with anxiety, but more than one in ten children has anxious thoughts and fears debilitating enough to warrant an anxiety disorder diagnosis. It is essential that therapists who treat children and adolescents have an arsenal of effective techniques for helping young people manage the overwhelming sensations of anxiety before these symptoms develop into lifelong issues. Developed by mindfulness researchers, Randye Semple and Jennifer Lee, the program in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Anxious Children can be used in group or individual therapy to help children and adolescents become more aware of the sensations of anxiety and notice how anxiety affects their behavior.
