From the Back Cover This groundbreaking work emphasizes the continuity and longitudinal nature of contemporary behavior therapy. Unlike other books in this area which make distinctions based upon adult and childhood disorders or therapeutic technique, this comprehensive handbook contains pairs of chapters which offer behavior therapy treatment modes for children and adults suffering from the same disorder. The similarities and differences of child and adult psychopathology are presented as crucial to evaluating the long-term manifestations of behavioral, emotional, and social dysfunctions. A Longwood Professional Book.
