Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health problems of childhood and adolescence. Childhood anxiety impacts not only the anxious child themselves, but also parents and other family members who inevitably find themselves drawn into accommodating the child's symptoms. Parents of anxious children almost universally describe becoming entangled in the child's symptoms and research indicates that many of the efforts made by parents to help an anxious childactually prolong and maintain the anxiety symptoms. This book provides clinicians working with anxious children with practical strategies and tools for addressing this critical element of childhood anxiety disorders.

Managing Microaggressions is aimed at clinicians who want to be more effective in their use of evidence-based practices with people of color.

Exposure Therapy for Eating Disorders teaches therapists to recognize the myriad ways exposure can and should be systematically included in ED treatment, providing practical guidance on when and how to use exposure techniques with this clinical population.

Exposure is the most important component of therapy for anxiety disorders and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) in children and adolescents. Unfortunately, this treatment tool is infrequently used by clinicians, limiting the help available to children suffering from anxiety and OCD. To address this gap, Exposure Therapy for Child and Adolescent Anxiety and OCD begins with a rationale for using exposure therapy grounded in history and science. Theauthors then provide a step-by-step procedure for delivering exposures, illustrated through sample dialogues and case examples.
