Description: "Brain-Based Therapy with Children and Adolescents: Evidence-Based Treatment for Everyday Practice shows clinicians how they can become more effective therapists by understanding and applying recent findings about the brain in their work with children and adolescents. The result is a new kind of therapy, one that takes into account both the uniqueness of each child or adolescent, as well as the requirements of standardized care as recommended by evidence-based practice - offering mental health professionals advice they can put into practice immediately."

"Incorporating useful vignettes that illustrate how to include these new treatments into effective client care, Brain-Based Therapy with Children and Adolescents: Evidence-Based Treatment for Everyday Practice explains the concept of brain-based therapy in a succinct and easy-to-grasp way, enabling therapists to make practical sense of neuroscience and how it can work within their daily practice."--Jacket.
