“This book is a long-awaited, timely, and wonderfully executed addition to the treatment armamentarium for young patients with depression.... I would enthusiastically recommend this book to trainees and therapists working with both adolescents and young adults. It is an excellent text for those who want to broaden their therapeutic acumen in general or for those who wish to learn the technique of cognitive therapy in particular. Other treatment manuals on the market offer brevity. This text offers comprehensiveness, tying together rhetorical background, clear and detailed examples of the application of technique, and important clinical caveats for those new to cognitive therapy and its application in adolescents. Its authors are among the most experienced and regarded clinician/researchers in the field... This book is an important contribution to the field of adolescent depression, and it will reward those who study.”
