Description

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for children and adolescents with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders offers a promising approach to addressing common challenges faced by young people with autism. This book provides session-by-session overviews of each intervention program, reviewing their evidence base and offering practical considerations in treatment. Leading clinicians describe approaches to treating anxiety and behavior problems, social competence issues, and adolescent concerns around sexuality and intimacy. The book also addresses general issues in adapting CBT for this population, providing a helpful framework for assessment and case conceptualization informed by DSM-5. By harnessing the benefits of CBT, clinicians can help children and adolescents with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being.
