Foreword
Disorders of emotion, specifically anxiety and depression, continue to be the most prev-
alent mental health problems among youth. Recent advances in theory and research
have demonstrated advantages to treatment approaches that conceptualize these prob-
lems as different manifestations of common underlying issues related to biology, cognition,
and behavior. This engaging work by Bunge, Mandil, Consoli, and Gomar thus combines
the latest and greatest thinking on psychotherapy for anxiety and depression in youth into
a single compelling program.
This work is eminently practical, in that the treatment approaches are organized in
self- contained modules, allowing the reader to use this book more as a library of clinical
resources than as a typical manualized treatment. Rather than delivering the program
from start to finish, the reader can select only those strategies that best fit the presen-
tation of each client, and the chosen modules can be updated in real time as therapy
unfolds and as various triumphs and challenges are encountered.
Just as important, the materials themselves are highly engaging, while remaining
fully grounded in the best science on cognitive- behavioral therapy (CBT). This book is
replete with cartoons, images, and metaphors that help communicate subtle and complex
aspects of behavior and cognition, helping anyone from novice to expert effectively and
creatively share the essential lessons of CBT with youth and families.
This book emphasizes some of the most important aspects of bringing CBT to life,
by explicitly speaking to issues of treatment engagement, flexibility, and adaptation in the
delivery of skills. It exemplifies what Kendall, Gosch, Furr, and Sood (2008) refer to as
“flexibility within fidelity.” Examples leap off the page, and inspire a variety of ideas and
methods for delivering the core strategies of CBT with a high degree of integrity. Anyone
working with youth having problems with anxiety and depression will find something
new in this book, and it is likely to be a valuable resource for years to come.
