Description
Depression: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with Children and Young People provides an accessible guide to recognising and treating depression in young people. Based on a successful manual developed for research trials, this book presents an overview of a cognitive behavioural model for working with this age group. Topics covered include engaging young people, setting goals for therapy, cognitive behaviour assessment and formulation, solutions for problems practitioners may face, and encouraging parents and agencies to support therapy. The book includes case examples and practical tips to prepare the practitioner for working with young people. Ideal for professionals working in child and adolescent mental health services, as well as those in training, this book also provides useful guidance for people working in community services for young people. Online resources are available, including downloadable worksheets from the appendices of the book.
