Comprehensive Evidence Based Interventions for Children and Adolescents (ePub)

A complete guide to evidence based interventions for children
and adolescents

The past decade has witnessed the development of numerous
interventions proved to be highly effective; several treatments are
now considered to be "well established" or "probably efficacious"
interventions for children. Given the range of providers working
with children--clinical psychologists, child psychiatrists,
clinical social workers, school psychologists, and marriage and
family therapists--this book is designed to provide all
professionals the information they now need about the use of these
evidence-based interventions (EBIs), as well as the evaluation
criteria used to determine their efficacy in in meeting the mental
health needs of children.

Alfano and Beidel have assembled a team of experts to write the
disorder chapters. Each chapter begins with an overview of the
disorder then delves into evidence-based approaches to treatment,
the impact of parental involvement, case-by-case modifications,
progress measurement, and clinical examples. In overview chapters
the editors cover:

* The role of development in treatment planning and
implementation

* Dissemination of EBIs into school and community settings

* The use of controversial therapies with children

* Emerging methods of service delivery and access
improvement

Comprehensive Evidence Based Interventions for Children and
Adolescents provides clinicians, researchers, and students
alike with the theoretical, conceptual, and practical skills to
provide children and adolescents with the best care possible.
