Overview

Handbook of Child and Adolescent Psychology Treatment Modules: Personalized Care in Behavior and Emotion provides clinicians with modularized treatment strategies for commonly occurring child and youth mental health disorders.

The second section guides clinicians on how to implement treatment strategies. Chapters instruct what therapy is, how to introduce it to clients, step-by-step implementation, worksheets for use in practice, homework to send home with clients, and more.

*5 stars* “The book explains how modular treatment approaches are superior to linear and standardized treatment strategies for child and adolescent mental health… [It] provides clinicians with modularized treatment strategies for commonly occurring child and youth mental health disorders… The book’s primary audience is clinicians. In addition, graduate students in psychology and social work would benefit greatly as well from the book… The editors are credible authorities in the subject matter of the book… The book outlines two modular interventions which clinicians can use for individuals experiencing depressive symptoms, TADS and Child STEPs… The book is easy to read and contains tables and figures which help clarify the text.” --©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Gary B Kaniuk, PsyD (Cermak Health Services)
