Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Weisz and Kazdin are the accepted world leaders in the field of evidence-based psychotherapies for young people, and their book is essential reading. The third edition differs from its predecessors in being substantially broader in scope and in the depth of evidence considered. The book is particularly distinctive in its critical appraisal of the challenges that lie ahead--for example, the need for a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in young people’s treatment responses, and the fact that most of the randomized controlled trials do not include multifaceted disorders. Although the issues concerned are quite tricky, the writing style is smooth and easy to follow. Anyone interested in the topic will both enjoy reading this book and learn a great deal from it."--Michael Rutter, MD, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King's College London, United Kingdom

“Weisz and Kazdin--two of the field's most original and influential scholars--show how science can be leveraged with innovativeness and rigor to improve the lives of children and adolescents who suffer from psychological disorders. The contributors include many pioneers in developing and testing evidence-based psychotherapies, who write with great wisdom. Thirty-three chapters provide a perfect balance between the present status of the scientific evidence and clinical applications, and identify critical future directions for the field. A 'must-have' book for instructors, students, clinicians, and researchers."--Wendy K. Silverman, PhD, ABPP, Alfred A. Messer Professor of Child Psychiatry and Director, Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program, Child Study Center, Yale University School of Medicine

"The biggest question facing today's psychotherapists and psychotherapy researchers is how to personalize evidence-based psychotherapy using the available selection of treatment and monitoring tools. This holds true for child and adolescent as well as adult psychotherapy. I cannot imagine a better resource for tackling this task than this outstanding book. Comprehensive and fun to read, it helps move the practice of child and adolescent psychotherapy forward. As a text, it is a rich resource for courses on child and adolescent treatment."--Wolfgang Lutz, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Trier, Germany

"Nobody understands evidence-based practices for children and adolescents--their development, evaluation, and implementation, as well as their strengths and limitations--with the depth and breadth of Weisz and Kazdin. The third edition has thorough coverage of almost all problems confronting clinicians and a very important section on implementing evidence-based interventions in a variety of clinical settings. Every clinician and clinical scientist will want this definitive resource on their bookshelves, and instructors will find it ideal for graduate courses covering psychological interventions."--David H. Barlow, PhD, ABPP, Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Psychiatry and Founder, Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders, Boston University

Reseña del editor:

Widely regarded as the standard reference and text on evidence-based therapies--and now substantially revised--this book has introduced tens of thousands of clinicians and students to exemplary treatments for social, emotional, and behavioral problems in children and youth. Concise chapters focus on specific psychotherapy models. The developers of the respective approaches review their conceptual underpinnings, describe how interventions are delivered on a session-by-session basis, and summarize what the research shows about treatment effectiveness. The book explores important questions and challenges facing the field and identifies best practices for treatment dissemination in real-world clinical contexts.

New to This Edition:
*Existing chapters significantly revised with the latest treatment research.
*Chapters on assessment, personalizing evidence-based therapies, clinical implications of developmental psychopathology, and advances in neuroscience.
*Coverage of additional clinical problems (self-injury and suicidal ideation, bulimia nervosa, encopresis) and treatments (Early Start Denver Model for autism spectrum disorder, Internet-assisted and technology-enhanced interventions).
*Chapters on implementation in complex mental health systems, as well as international models.
