Even the best grounding in the science and principles of psychotherapy can leave students poorly prepared for actual face-to-face work with clients. This important resource is dedicated specifically to increasing the confidence and professional competence of graduate students and early career professionals who use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with children and adolescents. With accessible language, engaging humor, and step-by-step guidance on what to do and when to do it, the author walks learners through the entire clinical process from initial consultation with young clients and their caregivers through the conclusion of treatment.
