Preface
T he primary purpose of the Handbook of Evidence-Based Treatment Manualsfor Children and Adolescents is
to provide practitioners, researchers, and students with up-to-date descriptions and detailed procedures used in
clinical practice with children and adolescents. Although treatment is a complex process, a good place to start
when unpacking treatment procedures is the treatment manual. Indeed, the t reatment manual has become part

treatment from a different vantage point—that of the treatment manual itself. Rather than address conceptual,
theoretical, or practical matters in child and adolescent treatment, I wanted to compile detailed procedural
descriptions that can be used in the prevention and intervention of childhood behavior problems.
The Handbook attempts to survey some broad and emerging areas of treatment with children and adoles-
cents. It is intended to be comprehensive and consistent with some new developments in the field. The contents
are divided into three major areas—treatment manuals used in the prevention of child and adolescent behavior
problems, treatment manuals used to address many of the significant social problems facing youth, and treat-
ment manuals used in the clinical intervention of children and adolescents with behavior problems.

with children and adolescents, there are some clear omissions. First, on a practical level, treatment manuals
have become quite popular and many individuals are publishing them as separate monographs. Unlike the
previous edition of this book, current efforts to obtain agreements to reproduce treatment manuals were more
