Finally, Part III, The Rest, ambitiously tackles parental guidance, family work, reluctant patients, crisis, medication, diversity and cultural dynamics, managed care and evidence-based treatment, and closing out a relationship.
In addition to vivid and detailed spotlights on the one-on-one talk and play of child therapy, this new edition includes chapters on evidence-based treatment, school consultation, and the influence of race, religion, and culture. Clinicians of all disciplines orientations will find this thorough guide to be revealing, confirming, provocative, and instructive as they conduct their important work with children, adolescents, and families.
