Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions in Educational Settings: A Handbook for Practice

by Ray W. Christner (Editor), Rosemary B. Mennuti (Editor)

Overview

The thoroughly updated third edition of Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions in Educational Settings offers readers a way to think strategically about individual students and plan for effective interventions based on the student’s age, developmental level, and presenting problem.

Written in a forward-thinking manner, this volume presents evidence-based interventions and offers both innovative and well-established approaches to working with children and adolescents in a school setting. The book begins by establishing foundational skills that provide updated information on CBT and a framework for working with youth and addresses timely issues such as schoolwide approaches to intervention, brief care models, ethnicity and race, and wellness programs. The second part of this volume uses CBT to explore strategies for building relationships, assessment, intervention, progress monitoring, and more. Case studies and specific techniques are provided throughout each chapter.

Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions in Educational Settings provides a complete overview for effective practice using CBT in schools.

Editorial Reviews

"...This book is a good resource for school psychologists who are interested in providing direct mental health services in schools. It fills an important niche by providing school-based recommendations for the application of evidence-based mental health interventions." - Kevin J. Filter, NCSP in Communiqué Vol. 35, No.4.

“School psychologists and school counselors are increasingly called upon to provide therapeutic interventions for students who experience a wide range of academic, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. Resources to support their important work in these areas are urgently needed. This new edition of Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions in Educational Settings again gives practitioners a compendium of evidence-based strategies that are eminently useful in schools. It is also a valuable text for training the next generation of school mental health workers.” - Joseph F. Kovaleski, D.Ed., NCSP, Professor of Educational and School Psychology, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, USA

“… [This] is one of those rare books that is, at the same time, broad, scholarly, and clinically savvy. Comprehensive and timely, it provides clinicians and educational professionals with evidence-based tools for understanding and assisting children with a broad range of concerns. From depression, anxiety, and ADHD to bullying, learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorders, the authors address the most important concerns confronting teachers and school psychologists today. The book is a must-have for child clinicians and school professionals.” - Mark A. Reinecke, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Chief Psychologist, Northwestern University, Illinois, USA
