Depression Summary

Depression: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with Children and Young People by Chrissie Verduyn (Central Manchester & Manchester Children's University Hospitals NHS Trust, UK)

In recent years there has been an increase in research into childhood depression, and it is now recognised that depression can severely impair young people in many aspects of their life, school, peer and social relationships, and frequently persists into adulthood.

Depression: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with Children and Young People provides an accessible guide to recognising and treating depression in young people. Based on a successful manual developed for research trials, this book presents an overview of a cognitive behavioural model for working with this age group, as well as practical ideas about how to start therapy. Topics covered include:

  • engaging young people
  • setting goals for therapy
  • cognitive behaviour assessment and formulation
  • solutions for problems practitioners may face
  • encouraging parents and agencies to support therapy.

Depression includes case examples and practical tips to prepare the practitioner for working with young people. Information is presented in a readable and practical style making this book ideal for professionals working in child and adolescent mental health services, as well as those in training. It will also be a useful guide for people working in community services for young people.

Depression Reviews

This is a well-written, well-researched and clearly presented book. If you are training or trained in CBT and working in the area of depression with children or adolescents, this is the book for you. - Caroline Anstiss, Counselling Children and Young People, September 2009

Depression provides clear, informative diagrams breaking down CBT processes and interventions in a visual format as a welcome diversion from the written word. The book offers up-to-date data, statistics and research on depression in young people... This book would make an ideal companion not just for psychotherapists and counsellors but also most professionals working in child and adolescent mental health services. It would also be of benefit to trainees in child/adolescent psychotherapy who want a firm foundation in transferring/integrating CBT skills into a more psychoanalytical framework. - Kate Lacy, The Independent Practitioner, Autumn 2009

This is a very useful, reasonably priced resource both for mental health trainees who are learning about cognitive-behavioural therapy and also for experienced clinicians who want to check that their practice remains on model. - Sarah Helps, British Journal of Hospital Medicine, March 2010, Vol. 71, No. 3

This book provides readers with the key tools for using CBT with children and young people with depression. It is ideal for practitioners in primary care or CAMHS, or clinicians in training who are using CBT with supervision. It is a clearly signposted, well referenced treatment manual that, with the benefit of the authors' extensive clinical experience, gives plenty of helpful case examples to enrich this technical guide. - Susanna Payne, Journal of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy, 39, 2011
