Evidence Based Psychotherapies for Children and Adolescents

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

Missing some crucial evidenced based therapies.

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.

Book arrived on time.

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