Industry Reviews

"Creed, Reisweber, and Beck have crafted an outstanding clinical book that is highly relevant to mental health professionals who work with adolescents. The authors provide clear, step-by-step guidelines for administering cognitive therapy in school settings, as well as rich illustrative vignettes. The authors further enhance the applicability of their procedures by addressing common treatment obstacles that school-based practitioners encounter. A wealth of assessment and treatment worksheets and ancillary materials are supplied. This book is a 'must have.'" - Christopher A. Kearney, Department of Psychology, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA "Working with adolescents can be challenging, especially when dealing with the time constraints and other complications of school settings. This book addresses the challenges and provides strategies and techniques you can have confidence in. The authors present the latest advances in cognitive therapy with adolescents and show how to translate them into the 'real world' of schools. They take the clinician step by step through cognitive case formulation and describe a range of treatment techniques, providing flexible, practical, and effective guidelines for clinical practice. The approach is unique and highly engaging. This is a book that all clinicians who work with youth will want on their shelves." - Mark A. Reinecke, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Northwestern University, USA
