ABSTRACT

Cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) with youth clients has received considerable attention and support over the past several years for a variety of presenting problems experienced by youth, including depression, anxiety, anger and aggression, eating disorders, and such (Ollendick & King, 2004). With the growing interest in CBT among practitioners, a number of experts in the field have compiled thorough and useful resources for implementing CBT with child and adolescent clients (see Kendall, 2000; Reinecke, Dattilio, & Freeman, 2003). Not only has CBT been applied to a variety of presenting problems experienced by youth, but also there is growing implementation of CBT interventions in a variety of settings in which youth interact. Recently, Mennuti, Freeman, and Christner (2006) offered a resource specifically for addressing child and adolescent issues a school setting.
