Designed to give counseling students a better understanding of children and adolescents who have been diagnosed with an emotional, behavioral, or mental disorder, this book provides a thorough discussion of the most-commonly diagnosed disorders of children and adolescents, and examines the biological, developmental, and environmental causes of these disorders. Disorders are approached from the perspective of the child/adolescent and examined in context, and each discussion includes practical guidance for assessment and treatment based on the most recent research in the field. To the expertise of the main author are added contributions by several counselor educators, psychologists, and clinicians who directly practice, teach, and focus on key topics addressed in the text.

  • Two-chapter introduction–Chapters 1 and 2.

    • Sets the stage for text coverage for students with little counseling background–emphasizes the importance of viewing children and adolescents with DSM-IV-TR disorders within a sound developmental framework.

  • Two chapters on treatment planning–One that discusses practical guidelines for planning and one consisting of five case studies.

    • Familiarizes future counselors with the challenges of tailoring treatment to the client, the characteristics of the client's disorder, and the level and stage of change occurring–offers examples of ways in which real counselors have dealt with the problems of real clients.

  • A case illustration in every disorder chapter–Specifically aligned with chapter content to highlight characteristics of the disorder and/or treatment plan.

    • Engages students in an examination of the kinds of situations they will face in their practice–lets them “see” text-sanctioned treatments at work on real clients with real disorders.

  • A sample treatment plan in every disorder chapter.

    • Offers a “template” for treating clients with the specific disorder being discussed–helps prepare students for the challenges and decisions involved in treating children and adolescents.

  • Multiple contributing authors–Each a practicing professional educator, counselor, or clinician.

    • Gives students the benefit of learning from counseling professionals in a wide variety of specialties–ensures the material presented is current, research-based, and authentically practical.

  • Summary/Closing Remarks sections in every chapter.

    • Focus students' attention on key chapter concepts and point the way to additional reliable information sources for discussion, assignments, research papers, and/or self-study.
