Depression, anxiety, and other internalizing
disorders can have
severe and lasting consequences for children and adolescents. This
unique book provides clear-cut strategies for addressing these
problems creatively and effectively with students in grades K-12. A
concise overview of the nature, development, and course of childhood
depression and anxiety is delineated, and a comprehensive assessment
model is outlined. Chapters then present a wide range of empirically
supported interventions that are easy to implement and readily
adaptable to diverse settings. Cognitive-behavioral and
psychoeducational techniques are described in jargon-free language,
and numerous reproducible handouts, worksheets, and exercises are
included to facilitate the practitioner's day-to-day work. Other
topics covered include currently available psychiatric medications
for depression and anxiety, and when and how a psychiatric referral
should be made.
