PEDIATRIC PSYCHOLOGY IN<br />
CLINICAL PRACTICE<br />
Empirically Supported Interventions<br />
Kristin Kroll<br />
<strong>Medical</strong> College of Wisconsin<br />
This book serves as a practical guide for mental health practitioners working<br />
with children and adolescents with chronic medical concerns. It provides key<br />
information on current research and the theoretical foundations underlying<br />
many evidence-based assessments and interventions. Based on the current<br />
literature, readers are given empirically grounded practical guidance on<br />
how to assess patients, implement key clinical interventions, and navigate<br />
clinical dilemmas that may arise in different situations. The book covers<br />
common issues specific to working with young children, school agedchildren,<br />
and adolescents, as well as particular medical conditions, and how<br />
to conceptualize and treat these concerns. Reproducible worksheets are<br />
provided to help clinicians apply what they learn to their clinical practice<br />
and to better manage common challenges. This readable book will be an<br />
invaluable introduction to the junior clinician, as well as a handy resource<br />
for the experienced practitioner, who can refer to relevant sections as specific<br />
problems arise.<br />
