"The third edition builds well on previous editions, and nicely blends theory and practice in chapters from world-leading authorities.

"Kendall has produced an outstanding volume for clinicians who are passionate about empirically supported treatments for children and adolescents. This state-of-the-art work helps clinicians to flexibly adapt treatment protocols for a range of disorders, with practical examples and rich descriptive cases. It also provides a solid review of theoretical foundations and up-to-date research findings. A 'must-have' text."--Jennifer L. Hudson, PhD, Director, Centre for Emotional Health, Department of Psychology, Macquarie University, Australia

"A welcome update of a seminal work, edited and written by international experts in CBT with children and youth. The strength of the book is its focus on clinical practice--each chapter provides ample material about both the process and content of developmentally and culturally sensitive interventions, brought to life through detailed case examples. Common themes include creative uses of nonverbal methods, parent involvement, the use of behavioral techniques, and how to adapt cognitive work to the developmental level of the child. This book is essential reading for any practicing child mental health professional."--Paul Stallard, PhD, Professor of Child and Family Mental Health, University of Bath, United Kingdom
