Seth Warren, Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers University, Piscataway, New Jersey 08855-0819 Preface The aim of this book on psychotherapies with children and families is to present a comprehensive overview of the current array of intervention approaches in the child mental health field. There is a focus on the integration of theory, research, and practice throughout the book. The book proceeds from the more global pre sentations of basic theoretical approaches to applications of these approaches with specific problems and populations. It then presents more integrated intervention approaches and overviews of the research literature. One of the unique features of this book is its focus on future directions for each approach, both in clinical prac tice and in research. A second unique feature is its structured format across di verse approaches with a focus on empirical validation of approaches. Another innovation is the presentation of interventions that integrate major components of different theoretical approaches. Thus, the book reflects the current trends in the field of interventions with specific problems and populations, empirical valida tion of the approach, and the integration of treatment approaches. There are five major sections in this book. Part I consists of four chapters that address a variety of issues related to child psychotherapy. Chapter 1 by the editors examines the historical roots of child psychotherapy and explores current trends in the treatment of diverse child disorders. It emphasizes the movement to "treat ments that work" and sets the stage for the chapters that follow. Chapter 2, by Toth and Cicchetti, reviews state-of-the-art concepts of developmental psychopathol ogy and its importance for treatment of children and adolescents. Chapter 3 exam ines an equally important dimension to effective child treatment, namely, the social and contextual forces that inform child treatment. Our basic premise is that children and adolescents are embedded in these contexts and that their behavior, adaptive as well as maladaptive, cannot be separated from it. This chapter by Howard, Barton, Walsh, and Lerner discusses the importance of these forces. Rae and Fournier, in Chapter 4, explore legal and ethical issues related to interven tions with children and their families. Part II covers the basic theoretical approaches to child and family therapy. The purpose of this section is to present the major theoretical approaches to interven tion with children and families that are in use today. A main theme of each chapter is empirical validation of the effectiveness of the treatment. To ensure a uniform presentation. each chapter discusses the theoretical overview of the approach, his tory of the approach, assessment and case formulation, description of intervention xi
