Reviews

"This book should be essential reading for all training courses in child CBT. It is truly outstanding. Excellent. A true gem." - Alan Carr, University College Dublin, Ireland

"It is not often that a book brings together theory and practice in such a unique way. The book fills an important gap and will serve to significantly enhance resident training programs. The work of Friedberg et al. will have a major impact on how cognitive-behavioral training is taught within the field of child psychiatry. The text outlines fundamental principles and offers creative applications of technique sure to result in enhanced efficacy." - Ellen Flannery-Schroeder, University of Rhode Island, USA
