Full Description
Anxiety disorders affect almost 20 percent of youth at any point in time. Recognizing symptoms, accurately diagnosing, and providing effective intervention are imperative because untreated anxiety disorders are associated with significant comorbidities and functional impairment. Fortunately, there are effective treatments. A discrepancy, however, remains between what practitioners should do and what they actually do. To help bridge this gap, this book offers a practical ""how to"" guide that synthesizes research, offers clear explanations of the theoretical underpinnings of cognitive behavioral therapy with specific intervention techniques, illustrated by case examples, and addresses critical topics to boost favorable outcomes.
