Media Reviews
This book provides an extremely valuable resource for school-based mental health professionals at any level of experience. The case examples guide the reader very clearly and with great depth through all aspects of effective cognitive therapy with adolescents. Moreover, the book offers explicit suggestions for how to implement cognitive therapy treatment techniques within typical settings. This resource belongs on the bookshelf of every school psychologist and school counselor. --Diane Smallwood, PsyD, School Psychology Programs, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine
This clearly written manual should prove invaluable to school psychologists, counselors, teachers, and administrators who are concerned about the behavior and mental health of students. Developed through experience in schools, and grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, the book offers practical explanations, case studies, and reproducible materials. It tackles the tough question of why students behave in ways that undermine their social, emotional, and academic success. More important, it systematically offers concrete strategies for empowering students to make healthy, productive changes in the way they think about and interact with the world around them. --Jerry McMullen, PhD, school psychologist/behavior management consultant, Exton, Pennsylvania Creed, Reisweber, and Beck have crafted an outstanding clinical book that is highly relevant to mental health professionals who work with adolescents. The authors provide clear, step-by-step guidelines for administering cognitive therapy in school settings, as well as rich illustrative vignettes. The authors further enhance the applicability of their procedures by addressing common treatment obstacles that school-based practitioners encounter. A wealth of assessment and treatment worksheets and ancillary materials are supplied. This book is a 'must have.' --Christopher A. Kearney, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Working with adolescents can be challenging, especially when dealing with the time constraints and other complications of school settings. This book addresses the challenges and provides strategies and techniques you can have confidence in. The authors present the latest advances in cognitive therapy with adolescents and show how to translate them into the 'real world' of schools. They take the clinician step by step through cognitive case formulation and describe a range of treatment techniques, providing flexible, practical, and effective guidelines for clinical practice. The approach is unique and highly engaging. This is a book that all clinicians who work with youth will want on their shelves. --Mark A. Reinecke, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Northwestern University A book that should be on every er's book shelf. It provides an understandable overview on how to do cognitive therapy in the school setting, including realistic case vignettes that help the reader start thinking about how to apply the basic concepts of automatic thoughts, intermediate beliefs, and core beliefs....I found it easy to read and very instructive as the case vignettes were used to identify cognitive concepts and subsequent dialogues between student and counselor....I did not find any weaknesses in this book and would recommend it for beginning ers as well as more experienced practitioners who are looking for additional activities to add to their tool kit. For those who are looking for research support regarding CT and cognitive-behavioral therapy, each chapter ends with a list of studies or a summary of supportive evidence. - School Social Work
