“...provides a wealth of practical and theoretical information as it clearly elucidates treatment interventions, technical problems, the context of therapy, and key principles of cognitive therapy with adolescent clients.”
—Contemporary Psychology
“....Useful for learning the nuts and bolts of cognitive therapy....”
—Jerry M. Wiener, M.D. in American Journal of Psychiatry
“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.”
—Craig L. Donnely, M.D., Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Mediacl Center, Lebanon, NH
“...This informative book is useful for professionals who are already familiar with both cognitive therapy and adolescent development as well as for those who wish to apply these concepts in their treatment of depressed adolescents.”
—Jane Bonk, Jane Addams College of Social Work, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL
“This timely book fills a critical void in the treatment literature for depressed adolescents. It will be a welcome addition to the library and therapeutic approaches of clinicians and researchers alike. A great step forward.”
—Peter S. Jensen, M.D., NIMH
“This invaluable resource fuses theory and clinical practice in a state-of-the-art comprehensive discussion of cognitive strategies in the treatment of adolescent depression. The authors are to be commended for their clear exposition of treatment interventions, the context for their application, and discussion of technical problems often encountered in work with this challenging population.”
—Michael Strober, Ph.D., Neuropsychiatric Institute and Hospital, UCLA
“Cognitive Therapy for Depressed Adolescents is an important contribution to the literature on the assessment and treatment of depressed adolescents. The authors deserve to be complimented for the even flow and the continuity across the chapters. In a concise and very readable fashion, the reader is provided with a detailed description of the guidelines and principles of cognitive therapy for depressed adolescents and of the specific techniques available to the cognitive therapist.”
