Christopher A. Flessner, PhD, is Associate Professor in the
Department of Psychological Sciences at Kent State University and
clinical child psychologist with KidsLink Neurobehavioral Center.
He has been Director of the Pediatric Anxiety Research Clinic at
Kent State since 2011. Dr. Flessner’s research focuses on
biological and psychosocial risk factors that may be linked to the
development of childhood anxiety and related problems--such as
obsessive-compulsive disorder, trichotillomania, and tic
disorders--and how a better understanding of risk factors might be
used to improve existing therapeutic interventions.
John C. Piacentini, PhD, ABPP, is Professor of Psychiatry and
Biobehavioral Sciences in the David Geffen School of Medicine at
the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He is Director of
the Center for Child Anxiety Resilience Education and Support and
of the Childhood OCD, Anxiety, and Tic Disorders Program at the
UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior. Dr.
Piacentini is Chair of the Behavioral Sciences Consortium of the
Tourette Association of America, a Founding Fellow of the Academy
of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies, a Fellow and past president
of the Society for Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology of the
American Psychological Association, and a Fellow of the Association
for Psychological Science. His research focuses on the etiology,
assessment, and treatment of obsessive–compulsive, tic, anxiety,
and body-focused, repetitive behavior disorders in children and
adolescents.
"Flessner and Piacentini have recruited some of the most prominent
experts in the world for a superb volume covering the most common
psychological disorders and problems in children and adolescents.
The originators of important treatment approaches describe their
protocols step by step. Like my own (adult-focused) Clinical
Handbook of Psychological Disorders, this volume was motivated by
countless clinical psychology graduate students, psychiatric
residents, and other mental health professionals, either in
training or in practice, asking: 'But how do I do it?' This is an
essential text for instructors of evidence-based practices, as well
as clinicians treating children and adolescents."--David H. Barlow,
PhD, ABPP, Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Psychiatry and
Founder, Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders, Boston
University
"The editors and contributors are experts who have done a masterful
job of translating evidence-based research into clear guidelines
for clinical work. Chapters provide concise, clinician-friendly
overviews of the psychological problems of youth, together with
detailed descriptions of treatments that work. Sample dialogues
illustrate core components of the interventions. The content is
state of the art (and science), making this a valuable reference
for therapists, researchers, and students."--Philip C. Kendall,
PhD, ABPP, Laura H. Carnell Professor of Psychology and
Distinguished University Professor, Temple University
"Finally, a book on treating child and adolescent psychological and
psychiatric disorders that is at once deeply theoretical and
eminently practical. Flessner and Piacentini's volume is a 'must
have' for clinicians of all disciplines, as each chapter not only
lays out the evidence-based treatments for a particular condition
or problem, but also shows how to deliver the treatment in
question. There's no book like it in child and adolescent mental
health; it will be especially useful for graduate and professional
training courses. Highly recommended."--Stephen P. Hinshaw, PhD,
Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley;
Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San
Francisco
"A critical contribution to the field. The editors have recruited
foremost authorities on evidence-based psychotherapy. Each
elegantly structured chapter provides a clear description of the
problem, reviews established and promising assessment and treatment
protocols, and outlines step-by-step interventions in easily
digestible and executable modules, illustrated with sample
transcripts and case vignettes. The book provides needed guidance
for the everyday practitioner who is managing an ever-more diverse
and complicated caseload."--Brian C. Chu, PhD, Graduate School of
Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers, The State University
of New Jersey
"A comprehensive, accessible resource. Contributors provide
important information on assessment and intervention for the full
continuum of childhood psychological and behavioral disorders. The
volume covers presenting problems with strong research literature
(such as anxiety disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity
disorder, obsessive–compulsive disorder, and disruptive behavior
disorders) as well as those with a developing literature base (such
as posttraumatic stress disorder and bipolar disorder). Presenting
developmentally appropriate, evidence-based interventions, this
handbook will be invaluable for trainees, rising professionals, and
established clinicians."--Michael C. Roberts, PhD, ABPP, Professor,
Clinical Child Psychology Program, and Dean of Graduate Studies,
University of Kansas
“This book combines critical reviews of contemporary treatments
with specific treatment recommendations. It covers the child and
adolescent disorders most likely to be encountered by clinicians. I
use this text in my graduate-level child and adolescent
psychotherapy course and recommend it both for trainees and for
seasoned clinicians who wish to remain up to date."--Brian Fisak,
PhD, Associate Professor and Director, Master’s in Clinical
Psychology Program, University of Central Florida -
