<b>An insightful and practical guide that looks at the role neuroscience plays as it relates to the treatment of childhood and adolescent disorders</b> <p>Written in an accessible way, <i>Brain-Based Therapy with Children and Adolescents: Evidence-Based Treatment for Everyday Practice</i> shows clinicians how they can become more effective therapists by understanding and applying recent findings about the brain in their work with children and adolescents. The result is a new kind of therapy, one that takes into account both the uniqueness of each child or adolescent, as well as the requirements of standardized care as recommended by evidence-based practice—offering mental health professionals advice they can put into practice immediately.</p> <p>Relying on research in developmental neurobiology, brain imaging, and evidence-based psychotherapeutic practices, the authors, experts in both neuroscience and evidence-based practice, cover:</p> <ul> <li> <p>The importance of understanding how the brain develops and functions in doing the actual work of child and adolescent psychotherapy</p> </li> <li> <p>Recent neuroscientific discoveries and how these can be integrated into evidence-based interventions to create uniquely effective treatments</p> </li> <li> <p>Evidence-based nterventions for the most common childhood and adolescent disorders, such as ADHD, OCD,ʡnd depression</p> </li> <li> <p>Tips on helping children and adolescents re-regulate such neurodynamically important processes as sleep and the mind-body relationship</p> </li> </ul> <p>Incorporating useful vignettes that illustrate how to include these new treatments into effective client care, <i>Brain-Based Therapy with Children and Adolescents: Evidence-Based Treatment for Everyday Practice</i> explains the concept of brain-based therapy in a succinct and easy-to-grasp way, enabling therapists to make practical sense of neuroscience and how it can work within their daily practice.</p>
