Handbook of Child Behavior Therapy in the Psychiatric Setting (Wiley Series on Personality Processes) - Tapa blanda

This handbook deals with the application of behaviour therapy methods to medical/psychiatric settings, where there is a growing interest in such an approach. Each chapter covers a specific syndrome and provides analysis of the ideal way of doing assessment and treatment for that syndrome. Thus, the relevance of the material to practitioners is enhanced by pointing out the impediments to "ideal" assessment, and suggesting ways to approach the best form of treatment.
