Opis

This is a comprehensive primer in child and adolescent psychotherapy. Presented in a question and answer format, it should be useful to students at graduate, postgraduate and advanced undergraduate levels. It should also serve to inform experienced practitioners about the latest developments in the field. Bringing together concepts and methods from psychodynamic, behavioural, cognitive and developmental perspectives, it provides an integrative conceptual model and therapeutic approach for conducting psychotherapy with children and adolescents troubled by a wide range of psychological and cognitive difficulties. The integrative model and rationale described should stimulate students and experienced clinicians alike to step out of the present-day, conceptually segregated world of psychotherapy and into a world of psychotherapy unbounded by narrow theoretical orientations.
