Handbook Of Interventions That Work With Children And Adolescents - Prevention And Treatment

Arranged in three parts, Part I lays theoretical foundations of “treatments that work” with children and adolescents. Part II presents the evidence base for the treatment of a host of behaviour problems, whilst Part III contains exciting prevention programs that attempt to intervene with several child and adolescent problems before they become disorders.

This Handbook presents encouraging evidence that we can intervene successfully at the psychosocial level with children and adolescents who already have major psychiatric disorders and, as importantly, that we can even prevent some of these disorders from occurring in the first place.

Paula M. Barrett is the editor of Handbook of Interventions that Work with Children and Adolescents: Prevention and Treatment, published by Wiley.

Thomas H. Ollendick is University Distinguished Professor in Clinical Psychology and Director of the Child Study Center at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia. He is the author or co-author of over 300 research publications, 75 book chapters, and 25 books.
