solid book for child and adolescent counseling

I got this book because of my graduate class ...i'm getting my master's in mental health counseling. I like this book as it gives a good overview of hte major theories of counseling (CBT, REBT, Reality Therapy, Person Centered ADlerian, etc) and then discusses how to apply for children and Adolescents. Also gives input on empirical studies, family therapy and group therapy. Solid foundational book. I also like the the reference section and biblography it gives so you can buy any of hte books in the specific theories

Cutting edge information for counseling children.

Counseling and Psychotherapy with Children and Adolescents, Third Edition has been a valuable addition to my personal llibrary. As a graduate student, I am constantly in search of state-of-the-art resources that I feel will enhance my skills once I begin to practice. Every grad. student/novice counselor needs to be aware of the major schools of thought as theory drives practice. This book offers the reader the chance to become familiar with the latest thinking and practice using the seven major approaches to counseling and psychotherapeutic interventions with children and adolescents. I have used this book many times over in writing research reports and it has served me well. This text is chock-full of useful information; everything from multicultural counseling to ethical issues. I would have liked to see more written on the areas of schizophrenia, and suicide. Although a bit pricey, this book is valuable as a supplemental or main text for the student, and reference for the novice therapist.
