Trade Review"An extensive background to anxiety disorders in children is covered; it is rich in detail and evidence-based. Issues of epidemiology, classification and outcome predictors are addressed, along with the impact of comorbid disorders on the treatment and assessment of anxiety disorders. The authors provide a well-balanced discussion of factors related to elevated anxiety and the associated implications of these factors for treatment. This book is a great resource for the treatment of childhood anxiety disorders, with helpful, practical recommendations presented for treating children with anxiety disorders.” (Child and Adolescent Mental Health, 1 September 2013)
“As a clinician, practitioner and research supervisor, this book is a valuable source of evidence-based information that can be used in both clinical and research settings. It is a comprehensive source of treatment and interventions for mental health professionals, psychologists, psychiatrists and anyone working with children and adolescents. I would highly recommend this book to those who have an interest in or work with children and adolescence.” (BPS South Western Branch Review, 1 August 2013)
