Treating Childhood and Adolescent Anxiety: A Guide for Caregivers

ISBN: 978-1-118-23802-8

April 2013

336 pages

Description
Every child experiences fear, but when a child experiences fear so consistently that it affects their daily function or well being, it becomes highly likely that an anxiety disorder is to blame. This book shows clinicians how to effectively use evidence-based techniques such as exposure therapy, CBT, and mindfulness to alleviate children's anxiety. Drawing on clinical experience and professional research, Treating the Anxious Child offers both a framework for understanding the dynamics at play for fearful children, as well as evidence-based guidelines for treating them successfully through the inclusion of daily caregivers.
