Riassunto:

This volume presents a unique, research-based approach to treating the prevalent, distressing, yet highly treatable problem of separation anxiety. The expert authors provide step-by-step guidelines for planning and implementing the entire process of therapy with children, adolescents, and their families--from intake and assessment through coping skills training, cognitive-behavioral interventions, and relapse prevention. Comprehensive case examples illustrate the complexities of building strong relationships with families under stress and effectively intervening with 3- to 17-year-olds across multiple situations (day and night) and settings (home, extracurricular, school, and camp). The book is written for maximum accessibility for clinicians from any background, even those with limited cognitive-behavioral therapy experience. Useful reproducibles include the newly developed Separation Anxiety Assessment Scales, designed to facilitate individualized case formulation and treatment planning.

Recensione:

'Eisen and Schaefer have produced a near-perfect treatment manual for intervention with separation and related anxiety disorders. They take empirically validated approaches and show how to apply them to real, everyday cases, and successfully adapt them to the individual child, presenting problem, and family context. This book beautifully achieves the oft-sought melding of research-based knowledge and clinical expertise.' - Cecil R. Reynolds, Texas A&M University

'Drs. Eisen and Schaefer are clearly world leaders in knowledge about separation anxiety in children and adolescents. In this volume they share their decades of combined knowledge in a clear, easy-to-follow format that will be welcomed by therapists and school-based professionals. The detailed case descriptions and practical handouts will allow any qualified practitioner to implement an empirically validated treatment for young people suffering separation fears.' - Ronald M.
