"Older and wiser, indeed! Friedberg and McClure begin their book
with this acknowledgement. The authors’ clinical maturity is
apparent in every page of the book, rendering this second edition
even more outstanding than the first. Through illuminating case
examples and detailed explanations, Friedberg and McClure show in a
sophisticated and nuanced manner how to conceptualize and treat
childhood disorders using state-of-the-art, evidence-based
techniques. For new and seasoned therapists who strive to be as
successful as possible in their use of CBT with children and
adolescents, this is a 'must-have' book."--Wendy K. Silverman, PhD,

"Friedberg and McClure have done it again! The second edition of
this classic text on cognitive therapy for youth offers even
greater depth and clinical wisdom, with new emphasis on the
importance of behavioral enactment and issues of culture in
psychotherapy. The strong developmental perspective makes this book
essential reading for anyone--from beginning graduate students to
seasoned practitioners--interested in how cognitive procedures can
be applied flexibly and effectively with children and adolescents.
Full of detailed examples and illustrations, the book brings
sophisticated concepts to life, making it a resource you will
surely turn to again and again."--Bruce F. Chorpita, PhD,

"Friedberg and McClure have produced an excellent second edition of
their invaluable guide. This volume not only reflects the authors'
additional years of clinical experience and wisdom, but also
incorporates scientific advances from the past dozen years. It
provides a thorough explanation of fundamental concepts for novice
therapists as well as advanced techniques for working with specific
diagnostic groups. I will recommend this book to my trainees--I
only wish I'd had it when I was in training!"--Mary A. Fristad,
PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health, The Ohio
State University Wexner Medical Center
"This text is one of the best resources I have found for teaching
both the theory and practice of CBT for children. The model
underlying the approach is fully described and illustrated with
numerous case examples. Specific techniques for communicating the
theory and facilitating the therapeutic process are provided. Many
different therapeutic activities are discussed in detail, including
creative applications that children may find interesting and
engaging. I have routinely required this book for students in my
graduate Child and Adolescent Therapy course and my therapy
practicum."--Mary Louise Cashel, PhD, Associate Professor and
Director of Clinical Training, Department of Psychology, Southern
Illinois University Carbondale -The book is very readable and
contains helpful figures and 'wow' boxes. The authors also include
clinical vignettes, which help clarify methodology….This book is
well written by experts in the field. It presents a step-by-step
approach, with clinical examples and helpful tips.--Doody's Review
