"This marvelous volume provides thoughtful guidance for adapting
BA--one of the most promising therapies for depression to enter the
field in the last two decades--to the treatment of adolescents. The
book combines a rich theoretical overview and a straightforward
approach to implementation. Developmentally sophisticated and
clinically instructive, it should prove to be a most valuable
addition to the clinical literature."--Steven D. Hollon, PhD,
Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Professor of Psychology, Vanderbilt
University
"BA is an effective evidence-based treatment for depression, with
comparable effects to more complex cognitive-behavioral protocols.
This clinical guide is based on the authors' broad experience and
research. Combining scientific findings with practical guidelines
for conducting BA with adolescents, this is an essential
resource."--Pim Cuijpers, PhD, Department of Clinical Psychology,
VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands
"This book should be on the shelf of all clinicians who work with
mood-disordered adolescents, from entry-level therapists to
advanced practitioners. BA has been shown to be an effective
treatment for adult depression, but until now, there has not been a
developmentally appropriate adaption that clinicians could readily
utilize. McCauley and colleagues present a clear, step-by-step
approach that is grounded in theory, research, and extensive
clinical experience. The book is designed to teach clinicians how
to help their clients experience more rewarding lives; those who
read it will be rewarded as well."--David A. Brent, MD, Professor
of Psychiatry and Endowed Chair in Suicide Studies, University of
Pittsburgh School of Medicine
"This outstanding clinician's guide provides a cogent rationale for
the treatment model and step-by-step instructions on how to
structure the sessions, which techniques to use when, and ways to
address common treatment challenges. The detailed reproducible
handouts are invaluable for both new and experienced clinicians.
Case vignettes enable the reader to visualize the course of
treatment for a diverse set of problems associated with depression
in adolescents. This is an excellent text for students in clinical,
counseling, and school psychology. It should be a mandatory
addition to any clinician's library of empirically supported
treatments for adolescents."--Laura H. Mufson, PhD, Department of
Psychiatry, Columbia University Medical Center and New York State
Psychiatric Institute -This is a well-executed text which carefully
and clearly explicates the A-BAP program and provides a well-laid
out, reproducible treatment protocol. This text would be a valuable
asset to any clinic that works with depressed teens or to any
practitioner that wishes to become more educated regarding
behavioral activation as it applies to the adolescent population.
This book would be valuable to any graduate mental health education
program where there is a focus on treatment and the provision of
empirically supported treatment protocols.--Child and Family
Behavior Therapy, 12/1/2017ffThere are copious good-quality A4
handouts for adolescents and their parents to support each module
(these are also available online for downloading and printing if
you have bought the book). It was especially lovely to see a warm
acknowledgement of the diversity of families and parenting
arrangements. I could not fault this book. I am glad to have it to
hand on my bookshelf and would gladly recommend it to both newly
qualified and experienced therapists.--BACP Children and Young
People, 9/1/2016
