Depression: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with Children and Young People
In recent years there has been an increase in research into childhood depression, and it is now recognised that depression can severely impair young people in many aspects of their life, school, peer and social relationships, and frequently persists into adulthood.
This book provides an accessible guide to recognising and treating depression in young people.
Based on a successful manual developed for research trials, it presents an overview of a cognitive behavioural model for working with this age group, as well as practical ideas about how to start therapy.
Eating Disorders: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with Children and Young People
Eating disorders comprise a range of physical, psychological and behavioural features that often have an impact on social functioning and can invade most areas of the sufferer’s life.
Although eating and weight disorders are common in children and adolescents, there is a scarcity of practical guidance on treatment methods for eating disorders in young people.
In this book, Simon Gowers and Lynne Green bring together up-to-date research, clinical examples and useful tips to guide practitioners in working with young people, as well as helping families of children and adolescents to deal with their difficulties.

Isaac Marks, Professor Emeritus of the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London, and author of Hands-on Help: Computer-aided Psychotherapy explores this idea further in a recent article in The Times.
"Repetitive parts of the therapy are done by a computer, which can then make decisions based on their answers," says Marks. "A computer can train them to think in different ways."
