Product Description

The field of psychology is witnessing the emergence and rapid scientific advancement of "third-wave" behavior therapies, such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). The efficacy of third-wave behavior and cognitive therapies has been demonstrated empirically across a wide range of clinical populations, including adults suffering with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, poly-substance use, thought disorders, and chronic illness. As acceptance- and mindfulness-based therapies continue to gain momentum and empirical support within mainstream psychology, it is essential to examine the adaptability and effectiveness of these approaches for children and adolescents. Acceptance and Mindfulness Treatments for Children and Adolescents will summarize the diverse ways in which the third-wave therapies have been adapted for young people and their families.
