This book does a great job at outlining some of the most widely used evidence-based practices. The way the book is organized was also user friendly. I found that I did not need to read it in it's entirety to understand the various therapies. The book also does a good job at referencing relevant and recent research.

This books is useful for gaining an introductory understanding to some of the approaches that have been researched and found useful for children and adolescents. My primary concern is the bias in this book toward cognitive behavioral and/or behavioral approaches only. Included in this text are a few approaches that admittedly have limited data to support them to date. These limitations are appropriately noted, but why not include other promising approaches, i.e. play therapy? Filial therapy is one model, a play therapy based approach, that has had a significant amount of research to support it and it is also not included here.

The book came quickly and in the condition described. I was very happy with the seller

Book arrived on time and was of good use during a class I took.

Is a good book written by Alan E. Kazdin. However we have four childrens of our own and I never needed a book to teach them manners and also to teach them to respect family, friends, and neighbours.
