Handbook of Psychotherapies With Children and Families (Issues in Clinical Child Psychology)

Rating:
Summary: A tad on the expensive side, but well worth the money.
Review: I was able to purchase this book through a professional book club at a substantially lower price, so for me to say that "you must have this book," is easy for me to say. Nevertheless...

I have used this book countless times in my family therapy courses because this handbook presents a comprehensive overview of the current practice with regard to the intervention approaches in the child and family psychotherapy. Specific problems are dealt with in a cogent, yet thorough fashion with a plethora of research to buttress the assertions made.

This book is a compilation of current trends of intervention with specific problems and populations,containing empirical support of each approach, and the integration of treatment approaches.

The book may be a little pricey, but I look at purchases such as these as an investment in my career.
