The FIRST Program for Behavioral and Emotional Problems
Presenting a fresh approach to child and adolescent therapy, this book identifies five principles at the heart of the most potent evidence-based treatments--and shows how to apply them.
Focusing on evidence-based treatments for common mental health issues in children and adolescents, this book offers in-depth insights into anxiety, depression, ADHD, and conduct problems. John Weisz outlines the underlying concepts and theories, providing detailed procedures and case examples to illustrate each treatment. It evaluates the practical application of these methods in clinical settings, making it a valuable resource for practitioners, supervisors, and program directors, while also critiquing the evidence for those developing youth treatment courses.
