3rd Edition
Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions in Educational Settings A Handbook for Practice
The thoroughly updated third edition of Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions in Educational Settings offers readers a way to think strategically about individual students and plan for effective interventions based on the student’s age, developmental level, and presenting problem.
Written in a forward-thinking manner, this volume presents evidence-based interventions and offers both innovative and well-established approaches to working with children and adolescents in a school setting. The book begins by establishing foundational skills that provide updated information on CBT and a framework for working with youth and addresses timely issues such as schoolwide approaches to intervention, brief care models, ethnicity and race, and wellness programs. The second part of this volume uses CBT to explore strategies for building relationships, assessment, intervention, progress monitoring, and more. Case studies and specific techniques are provided throughout each chapter.
Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions in Educational Settings provides a complete overview for effective practice using CBT in schools.
