BOOK AND MATERIAL REVIEWS: Treatments that Work with Children: Empirically Supported Strategies for Managing Childhood Problems

Christiphersen and Mortweet provide an excellent and much needed work on empirically supported treatments for common childhood disorders. The clearly stated goal of the book is to present the current state of treatments identified by the American Psychological Association Task Force as having been rigorously investigated with effective results. This goal is highly relevant to educational and psychological consultants who will undoubtedly encounter many of the problems addressed in the book and require knowledge about effective treatment approaches. The term empirically supported treatments refers to “treatments that have been studied in more than one setting, using prospective random assignment to alternative treatments, multiple measures, and a carefully selected and well-defined participant population” (p. 4). The disorders covered in the book include: disruptive behavior disorders, anxiety disorders, habit disorders, sleep problems, encopresis, nocturnal enuresis, pain management, and adherence to medical regimen. The authors intentionally omitted chapters on depression and obsessive-compulsive disorders stating that these treatments were covered in other texts. Although this is understandable, the book would have been enhanced by including such chapters JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSULTATION, 16(3), 239–245 Copyright © 2005, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc.
