"Most clinical handbooks are organized around DSM-IV categories, but this is quickly going out of fashion as new research paves the way for more clinically relevant approaches. This excellent handbook anticipates DSM-V by organizing the case formulation and treatment of common childhood disorders around typical presenting problems, rather than diagnostic categories. This book will be essential reading for all child clinicians for the next decade."--David H. Barlow, PhD, Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders and Department of Psychology, Boston University
"A volume that provides clear, easy-to-follow, step-by-step procedures for implementing evidence-based treatments for childhood behavioral and emotional problems has long been needed. The field owes Eisen a big 'thank you' for assembling this excellent book. It should prove indispensable to practitioners, graduate students, and mental health trainees."--Wendy K. Silverman, PhD, Department of Psychology, Florida International University
"An excellent text for students, interns, and practicing clinicians. The contributors focus on core symptom dimensions, such as moodiness, distractibility, and obsessive thoughts. Each chapter provides the reader with a good factual basis on the nature of each dimension as well as a treatment rationale and clear examples of treatments. Of particular value are the detailed coverage of evaluation and the examples of dialogues and techniques. This book serves a unique function for real-world clinicians who want to know what to do, why, and how it will benefit the children they treat. I highly recommend it."--Robert L. Leahy, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Weill Medical College of Cornell University
"True to his intent, Eisen has provided a very practical work that emphasizes case formulation and evidence-based action. The overall approach is up to date and in keeping with the current transition of the field, which is moving from categorical to dimensional diagnosis and conceptualization for the purpose of designing effective treatment plans. Practicing clinicians will find this book useful as they navigate the paradigmatic shift toward dimensional diagnosis and treatment. It will also be particularly useful to graduate students in practicum settings."--Cecil R. Reynolds, PhD, Professor of Educational Psychology and Neuroscience and Distinguished Research Scholar, Texas A & M University
"This is an excellent, practical book. It uniquely focuses on salient symptoms usually seen in clinical settings and then considers various differential diagnoses. The case material in each chapter helps readers see how therapy is conducted. The authors include both diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. It is 'must' reading for child therapists....4 stars!"--Doody's Review Service
Product Description
Child clinicians often receive referrals expressing concern that a child is "easily distracted," "moody," or "socially anxious," to name just a few of the most common complaints, yet each of these symptoms can point to a wide range of potential diagnoses. This important book helps the clinician target core symptom dimensions that cut across different emotional and behavioral disorders, providing practical tools and strategies for treating children with multiple, overlapping problems. Leading contributors offer step-by-step guidelines for differential diagnosis, assessment, case formulation, treatment planning, and evidence-based intervention. Each chapter features vivid clinical illustrations, tips on avoiding misdiagnosis, and suggestions for overcoming therapeutic roadblocks.
