Eisen (Child Anxiety Disorders Clinic, Fairleigh Dickinson University) helps clinicians target core symptom dimensions that cut across different behavioral and emotional disorders in children. Each chapter begins by examining a specific symptom dimension, such as moodiness, eating and sleeping problems, and obsessive thoughts, and discusses its relationship to frequently encountered disorders. Guidelines are presented for developing a differential diagnosis that identifies both primary and comorbid conditions. Readers are taken step by step through assessment and treatment planning, and session by session through evidence-based treatment procedures. Detailed examples illustrate how to formulate complex cases, tailor interventions to each child's needs, and collaborate with parents. The book will be useful to mental health professionals and students in clinical and school psychology, psychiatry, social work, and counseling.
