Summary

This valuable handbook presents clear guidelines for conducting effective treatment procedures for children suffering from anxiety and phobic disorders, allowing clinicians to maintain high standards of care in their practice.
Wendy K. Silverman and William M. Kurtines adapt key theoretical concepts and findings from ongoing research to develop practical assessment and intervention procedures. The authors highlight their "transfer of control" approach and describe its implementation in their exposure-based program. They provide many helpful case examples to illustrate how to overcome treatment obstacles.
In addition to presenting clinically useful information, Silverman and Kurtines also offer a unique perspective on human behavior and development that is valuable in dealing with different populations and all types of distress problems. Anxiety and Phobic Disorders is an indispensable source of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, and gives insights into a broad range of clinical issues affecting children and their families.
