Full Description
Practitioners need to know the evidence behind using digital mental health approaches and tools, including telemental health visits. This accessible book provides that help as the authors guide the reader through the rationale, options, and strategies for incorporating digital tools into children's mental health care, drawing on their extensive knowledge of both current research and clinical practice. They outline the leading theoretical approaches and highlight mechanisms involved in how digital tools increase access to, engagement in, and outcomes of evidencebased mental health services for children and families. Through clinical vignettes and hands-on exercises included in this Advances in Psychotherapy series volume, mental health providers will gain insight into how to select a digital tool and identify its various uses. The reader is also given the opportunity to explore their own attitudes and comfort with incorporating digital tools into practice with their young clients and their families. Numerous
downloadable handouts and forms for clinical use are provided in the appendix.
