Editorial Reviews

Presents a systematic review and detailed discussion of treatment procedures for children's learning and behavior disorders, in which discussion of available treatment techniques takes precedence over conceptual and theoretical issues. After an overview of the historical context of child therapy, a section on intervention strategies for specific behavior disorders covers areas including obsessive compulsive disorders, depression, phobias, ADHD, autism, mental retardation, and PTSD. A third section reviews psychopharmacotherapy and discusses behavioral informatics, prevention, and related legal issues. This third edition is enlarged and expanded.
