With a compendium of proven strategies for resolving more than 40 of the most pressing and prevalent issues facing young people, the book provides immediate guidance and uniform step-by-step instructions for resolving issues ranging from psychopathological disorders to academic problems. Busy academics, practitioners, and trainees in schools and outpatient clinical settings will find this resource to be an invaluable desktop reference for facilitating well-informed decision making.</p><p>Unlike other volumes that ignore or merely reference the evidence base of various interventions, this book focuses on providing immediate, empirically supported guidance for putting these strategies into direct practice. Issues covered include crisis interventions and response, social and emotional issues, academic/learning issues, psychopathological disorders, neuropsychological disorders, and the behavioral management of childhood health issues. Each chapter follows a consistent format including a brief description of the problem and associated characteristics, etiology and contributing factors, and three evidence-based, step-by-step sets of instructions for implementation. Additionally, each chapter provides several websites offering further information about the topic. Featuring contributions from leading scholars and practitioners on each issue covered, this book will be a valuable resource for school and child clinical psychologists, counselors, social workers, and therapists as well as other health and mental health professionals whose primary practice is with children and adolescents.</p><p><b>KEY FEATURES: </b></p><ul><li>Demonstrates step-by-step, evidence-based interventions for more than 40 common childhood issues</li><li>Provides treatment procedures that can be immediately put into practice</li><li>Covers a wide range of mental health and academic/learning issues for children and adolescents</li><li>Relevance for both school-based and clinically based practice</li><li>Includes contributions by noted experts in the field</li><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Rather, the <em>Handbook</em> is an accessible read that clinicians who work with children will welcome into their professional libraries as a reference tool. Therapists will use it as a quick and effective resource for familiarizing themselves with a broad array of issues and for verifying whether the interventions that they choose have received empirical support. The authors' guidance will remind clinicians to implement all aspects of treatment protocols to increase their fidelity to evidence-based approaches. Moreover, it will prompt those who are less acquainted with a particular intervention to widen their skill set to increase their effectiveness.<ul><li>Steven A.
