ABSTRACT

When the first edition of this book was written in 2008, it was thought that a book like this would not have been possible a decade ago. The evidence about what worked was still in its infancy, and compendiums of evidence based practices had yet to be produced. Fast forward almost another decade later-and we have seen vast improvements and advancements in the field of child and youth mental health. In fact, since publication of the first edition advances have occurred at both the macro and micro levels and on both large and small scales.
