Mental Health Therapy for Children: What Works and Why: Practical Information from a Five Decade Career (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781720468417)

Everyone wants to know what works when treating children with behavioral and emotional problems. Evidence-based practices, outcome research, promising approaches all offer the answers to what works, but are they right? The good news is that sixty years of research points to this fact--if a treatment approach does not harm a child, it will likely be helpful. So don't fall for marketing research that says our approach is better than everyone else's, or the approach with the most research wins. This book provides an unfiltered assessment of what actually works with children, provided by a psychologist with nearly 50 years of experience as a practitioner, researcher and someone who has worked with and lived with some of society's most troubled children. The opinions are direct and frank and not everyone will agree, but agreement is less important than what practically makes a difference in helping troubled children.
