This thought-provoking guide offers clinicians new perspectives on the delivery of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to children and young people through the highly engaging, lively medium of the case study format. The narrative case studies Alison Coad and Nick Wrycraft present give fresh insights into the ways in which various CBT approaches can be used as the foundation for highly individual treatment programmers.
