Sukhodolsky and Scahill (psychology and nursing and child psychiatry, Yale U. and Yale U. Child Study Center) outline an evidence-based individual cognitive-behavioral therapy approach that clinicians with a background in psychopathology, as well as psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and other professionals, can use with children and adolescents (ages eight to 16) experiencing anger, aggression, irritability, and noncompliance problems. It contains 10 child sessions and three parent sessions that address anger management, problem solving, and social skills. They review the theoretical underpinnings and research evidence in support of this therapy and guidelines for assessment of disruptive behavior, then present the sessions, which are structured around goals and therapeutic techniques and activities. Meant for use in outpatient mental health settings, inpatient services, schools, juvenile justice programs, and other facilities, each session includes scripts and guidelines for implementing treatment. Handouts and a treatment fidelity checklist are also provided. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
