Clinical Practice of Cognitive Therapy with Children and Adolescents by Robert D Friedberg

An ideal teaching text or practitioner reference, this book offers a complete introduction to doing cognitive therapy with children and adolescents. A systematic yet flexible approach to case conceptualization and treatment planning is presented. The authors review the essentials of orienting children and families to cognitive therapy, structuring each session, and implementing commonly used cognitive and behavioral techniques. Concluding chapters describe strategies for addressing specific clinical problems: depression, anxiety, and disruptive behavior.

"Older and wiser, indeed! Friedberg and McClure begin their book with this acknowledgementThe authors’ clinical maturity is apparent in every page of the book, rendering this second edition even more outstanding than the first. Through illuminating case examples and detailed explanations, Friedberg and McClure show in a sophisticated and nuanced manner how to conceptualize and treat childhood disorders using state-of-the-art, evidence-based techniques. For new and seasoned therapists who strive to be as successful as possible in their use of CBT with children and adolescents, this is a 'must-have' book."--Wendy K. Silverman, PhD, ABPP, Alfred A. Messer Professor of Child Psychiatry and Director, Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program, Child Study Center, Yale University School of Medicine

"Friedberg and McClure have done it again! The second edition of this classic text on cognitive therapy for youth offers even greater depth and clinical wisdom, with new emphasis on the importance of behavioral enactment and issues of culture in psychotherapy. The strong developmental perspective makes this book essential reading for anyone--from beginning graduate students to seasoned practitioners--interested in how cognitive procedures can be applied flexibly and effectively with children and adolescents. Full of detailed examples and illustrations, the book brings sophisticated concepts to life, making it a resource you will surely turn to again and again."--Bruce F. Chorpita, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of California, Los Angeles; President, PracticeWise

"Friedberg and McClure have produced an excellent second edition of their invaluable guide. This volume not only reflects the authors' additional years of clinical experience and wisdom, but also incorporates scientific advances from the past dozen years. It provides a thorough explanation of fundamental concepts for novice therapists as well as advanced techniques for working with specific diagnostic groups. I will recommend this book to my trainees--I only wish I'd had it when I was in training!"--Mary A. Fristad, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center

"This text is one of the best resources I have found for teaching both the theory and practice of CBT for children. The model underlying the approach is fully described and illustrated with numerous case examples. Specific techniques for communicating the theory and facilitating the therapeutic process are provided. Many different therapeutic activities are discussed in detail, including creative applications that children may find interesting and engaging. I have routinely required this book for students in my graduate Child and Adolescent Therapy course and my therapy practicum."--Mary Louise Cashel, PhD, Associate Professor and Director of Clinical Training, Department of Psychology, Southern Illinois University Carbondale
