Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Impulsive

This accessible, informative book presents an approach that has been used successfully by thousands of clinicians to help children reduce impulsivity and improve their self-control. In-depth descriptions of treatment strategies are brought to life with case examples and illustrative transcripts. The authors' model can be applied in a variety of settings and with different populations of children, including those with ADHD, conduct disorder, and learning disabilities. Grounded in the proven techniques of cognitive-behavioral therapy, this is an invaluable resource for anyone working with children who need to learn to "stop and think'' before they act.
