Depression: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with Children and Young People

In recent years there has been an increase in research into childhood depression, and it is now recognised that depression can severely impair young people in many aspects of their life, school, peer and social relationships, and frequently persists into adulthood. This book provides an accessible guide to recognising and treating depression in young people. Based on a successful manual developed for research trials, it presents an overview of a cognitive behavioural model for working with this age group, as well as practical ideas about how to start therapy.
