Wendy K. Silverman, PhD, ABPP, Alfred A. Messer Professor of Child Psychiatry and Director, Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program, Child Study Center, Yale University School of Medicine The biggest question facing today's psychotherapists and psychotherapy researchers is how to personalize evidence-based psychotherapy using the available selection of treatment and monitoring tools. This holds true for child and adolescent as well as adult psychotherapy. I cannot imagine a better resource for tackling this task than this outstanding book. Comprehensive and fun to read, it helps move the practice of child and adolescent psychotherapy forward. As a text, it is a rich resource for courses on child and adolescent treatment.
