Bücher der Reihe Banff Conference on Behavioral Science Series

Leading practitioners and researchers contribute to this volume, which focuses on recent advances in the understanding and treatment of the common psychological difficulties of anxiety and depression.Chapters cover such topics as: self-management theory; unipolar depression; and the assessment and treatment of sexually abused children. With case examples and exercises highlighting important clinical concepts, the volume integrates empirical research with clinical applications.

This volume provides a unique perspective on the use of cognitive-behavioural therapy: rather than focusing on different forms or models of the approach, it examines its uses with a range of conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, agoraphobia and chronic pain. Integrating clinical applications with empirical research, contributors also examine disorders under-represented in the literature: personality disorders and disorders common in children and adolescents.

This volume presents the newest research on the effectiveness of prevention and early intervention programmes with children from birth to adolescence. The contributors examine the theory and practice of leading innovative programmes which focus on social skills training, anger coping group work, parent training programmes and life skills training.

This book addresses the issue of "best practices" in psychological interventions, which, due to the growing recognition of their value, are increasingly being funded by both public and private health providers.
