Clinical Practice of
Cognitive Therapy with Children and Adolescents
The Nuts and Bolts
Robert D. Friedberg and Jessica M. McClure |
 |
This lively, practical book offers a complete guide to doing cognitive therapy with
children and adolescents. Within a clear theoretical framework, the authors describe how
to adapt cognitive therapy principles and procedures to the unique needs of distressed
children and their parents. The book starts with the fundamentals, demonstrating a
clear-cut yet flexible approach to case conceptualization and treatment planning. Detailed
guidelines are then presented to help the clinician introduce cognitive therapy to
children and families; identify problems, feelings, and thoughts; craft Socratic
dialogues; design homework assignments; and implement a range of traditional and creative
interventions. Concluding chapters focus explicitly on techniques for managing depression,
anxiety, and disruptive behavior in youth. Devoting special attention to cultural
diversity issues, the book is filled with illustrative case examples and session
vignettes. Included are over a dozen useful reproducible worksheets and forms.
