Neuropsychological Assessment and Intervention for Youth

This is the first comprehensive text that bridges the gap between neuropsychological assessment and intervention for children and adolescents with common emotional and behavioral disorders.

This is a timely and important issue as clinical researchers—and the field at large—are increasingly able to translate basic brain science into empirically supported clinical assessments and interventions. Co-editors Reddy, Weissman, and Hale—all first-rate clinical researchers—selected the emotional and behavioral disorders examined in each chapter based on their high prevalence in children and adolescents (e.g., OCD, ADHD, anxiety disorders, conduct disorders, etc.) and the lack of published books integrating neuropsychology and treatment for these conditions.

Written for clinicians and other practitioners who are involved with treating children and adolescents with common behavioral disorders in this young population, this book will also appeal to clinical researchers and to students in graduate psychology courses.
