Think Good–Feel Good is a wonderful resource for practitioners undertaking cognitive behaviour therapy with children and young people ... The materials promise to be an essential component of the toolbox of any child or adolescent CBT therapist, and deserve to become a key resource in training.' Dr Rachel Calam, European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

This is a companion guide to the highly successful workbook Think Good–Feel Good: A Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Workbook for Children and Young People. Designed for clinicians using the original workbook in their work with children, this guide builds upon the practical materials in the workbook by looking at the process of undertaking child-focused CBT, including:

• engaging children in CBT and motivating them
• developing an individual case formulation
• undertaking Socratic questioning and inductive reasoning
• how best to involve parents
• effective methods to use with children

To supplement the workbook, this clinician's guide offers further materials and handouts for use in therapy, including psychoeducational materials for children and parents.

This is a must-have resource for child and adolescent mental health professionals wanting to use CBT with children. It will also be of interest to other health professionals working with children, such as social workers, school nurses, counsellors and health visitors.
