Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Anxious Children: Therapist Manual, Third Edition

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Anxious Children: Therapist Manual, Third Edition

I have used this workbook time and time again since I began doing therapy with clients. This research-based workbook presents the concepts of thoughts, feelings, behaviors and anxiety in terms kids can understand within their own lives, and provides empowerment. This is a required workbook for any of my child or adolescent clients struggling with worry or anxiety.

I’ve read twenty plus books on ADHD and this is the best, hands down. It offers a practical, non-sugarcoated blend of real-life anecdotes, science, tips and solutions all in an easy to read format. If you are challenged with ADHD and are ready to improve your relationships, get this book. If you love someone challenged with ADHD, get this book. This book is also required reading for any of my supervisees who want to work with couples.

This is an invaluable supplement to the work clients do with me in session. Most of the between session work I assign comes from this workbook as it encourages clients to apply the topics discussed in session to real-life situations. Using this workbook between session can help deepen the therapeutic experience.

I love this book for parents and teens, read   together or separately! Doctor Dan Seigel takes you through the “E.S.S.E.N.C.E. of adolescents” by educating parents and teens on what’s happening with the brain during this sometimes trying period of development. The book also includes mindfulness and meditation exercises which both parents and teens can learn together.

I’ve referred this book to my friends with kids. Any parent or caregiver who wants a deeper understanding of childhood development, and to learn how to encourage healthy development of every part of a child’s brain should read this book. It’s an easy and interesting read.
