Health. Dr. Kennard has been a site co-investigator on three multisite treatment

dren and adolescents with major depressive disorder. Dr. Foxwell’s clinical interests

Acknowledgments
First, we would like to thank the children and families who participated in the
treatment studies of relapse prevention cognitive-behavioral therapy (RP-CBT). This
work would not have been possible without their time, energy, effort, and input.
Our work with them inspired many of the examples, as well as the fine-tuning of
skills included in this book.
In addition, we are grateful to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH),
who provided the funding for the clinical trials that led to the development of this
treatment approach (NIMH R34 MH072737, principal investigator: B. Kennard;
NIMH R01 MH39188, principal investigators: G. Emslie and B. Kennard).
We would like to acknowledge the original RP-CBT Development Team—Betsy
D. Kennard, PsyD, Sunita Stewart, PhD, Jennifer L. Hughes, PhD, Puja Patel, PhD,
Avery Hoenig, PhD, and Jessica Jones, MA—who were instrumental in developing
the initial intervention. Additionally, we would like to thank Graham J. Emslie,
MD, who was the co-principal investigator for the NIMH R01 randomized con-
trolled trial to test RP-CBT. Given his experience in testing and developing continu-
ation-phase treatments for youth depression, his input was invaluable in developing
our approach to the clinical care of these children and their families.
We are also grateful to the many therapists, co-investigators, study coordina-
tors, and graduate students who contributed to the success of this work: Taryn
Mayes, MS, Jeanne Nightingale-Teresi, RN, MS, Carroll Hughes, PhD, RongRong
Tao, MD, Kristi Baker, PhD, Mikah Smith, MA, LPC, Charlotte Haley, PhD, Kate
Kennard, BA, Jessica King, BA, Alyssa Parker, PhD, Ashley Melson, MSW, Krystle
Joyner, MS, Kristin Wolfe, MRC, Jarrette Moore, MA, Hayley Fournier, PhD,
