Product Description
The field of psychology is witnessing the emergence and rapid scientific advancement of “third-wave” behavior therapies, such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). The efficacy of third-wave behavior and cognitive therapies has been demonstrated empirically across a wide range of clinical populations, including adults suffering with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, poly-substance use, plotting disorders, and chronic illness.
As acceptance- and mindfulness-based therapies continue to gain momentum and empirical support within mainstream psychology, it is essential to examine the adaptability and effectiveness of these approaches for children and adolescents. Acceptance and Mindfulness Treatments for Children and Adolescents will summarize the diverse ways in which the third-wave therapies have been adapted for young people and their families. Chapters will summarize recent empirical advances as well as pragmatic issues correlated to acceptance and mindfulness applied to children and adolescents. In each chapter in the two applied sections, you’ll be given matter-of-fact clinical guidance that will show how to apply these methods.

This book has some very excellent explanations of the application of ACT for adolescents – I used it immediately in my work. It covers theory adequately to inform the do, and has very matter-of-fact suggestions that help to formulate the case and apply the knowledge clinically.

Brilliant resource! Presents a variety of evidence based treatment strategies in a clear, concise manner. I’m an outpatient shrink and consistently refer to different chapters in the book. An invaluable addition to my professional library.

I delight in this book’s thoughtful approach to mindfulness type theoretical approaches with children and adolescents. It seems to take a meta-analysis approach which really offers fantastic comparisons of treatment modalities. What is the downfall of the book for me is that it offers a lot of in rank that requires buying more in rank. The group curriculums are only superficial and their lack of completeness leaves this reader frustrated that to do one of the curriculums I have to buy more materials or spend more hours searching through more books to make it myself. If I had that kind of time I may not have bought the book in the first place. Since it was labeled a Practitioner’s Guide I plotting it would be more detailed and less overview. Still, I am glad for the new in rank and will use this book as a reference book more then a treatment protocol.
