About PROGRAMS THAT WORK
One of the most difficult problems confronting the parents of children with
various disorders and diseases is finding the best help available. Everyone
is aware of friends or family who have sought treatment from a seemingly
reputable practitioner, only to find out later from another doctor that the
original diagnosis was wrong or the treatments recommended were inappro-
priate or perhaps even harmful. Most parents or family members address this
problem by reading everything they can about their children’s symptoms,
seeking out information on the Internet, or aggressively asking around to
tap knowledge from friends and acquaintances. Governments and health
care policymakers are also aware that people in need don’t always get the best
treatments—something they refer to as “variability in health care practices.”
Now health care systems around the world are attempting to correct this
variability by introducing “evidence-based practice.” This simply means
that it is in everyone’s interest that patients of all ages get the most up-to-
date and effective care for a particular problem. Health care policymak-
ers have also recognized that it is very useful to give consumers of health
care as much information as possible, so that they can make intelligent
decisions in a collaborative effort to improve health and mental health.
This series, ProgramsThatWork™, is designed to accomplish just that for
children suffering from behavioral health problems. Only the latest and
most effective interventions for particular problems are described in user-
friendly language. To be included in this series, each treatment program
must pass the highest standards of evidence available, as determined by a
scientific advisory board. Thus, when parents with children suffering from
these problems or their family members seek out an expert clinician who
is familiar with these interventions and decide that they are appropriate,
they will have confidence that they are receiving the best care available. Of
course, only your health care professional can decide on the right mix of
treatments for your child.
This workbook is designed to help your child learn to manage strong emo-
tions more effectively at home. It outlines a program to better the lives
of your child and your family, and is most effective for children between
v
vi
7 and 13 years of age. This program was developed by some of the fore-
most experts on emotional disorders in children, and has significant
scientific support. The program is most effectively applied by working in
collaboration with your child’s clinician.

Welcome to Treatment—UP-C Parents!
Hello, and welcome to the workbook for the Unified Protocol for
Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children! If you are
reading this introduction, you are probably considering participating in
this treatment program or are perhaps seeking some skills to help your
child learn to manage strong emotions more effectively at home. If this
sounds like you, we hope that the information, skills, and home learn-
ing assignments in this workbook will be helpful to you and your child.
Parents often have many questions before beginning a treatment like this.
We provide answers to some of the most common questions raised by
parents in the pages of this introduction. Our hope is that these answers
allow you to feel as prepared as possible for participating in this program.
Although your child’s emotions may sometimes seem quite mysterious to
you, we don’t want to leave you in suspense about what to expect from
treatment. Once treatment is no longer a mystery to you, you can focus
your effort and attention on helping your child solve the mystery of his or
her emotions and become an “Emotion Detective.”
