Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based psychosocial intervention appropriate for a plethora of problems including anxiety, depression, and emotion dysregulation. School-based practitioners can alleviate some of these concerns in young people by applying CBT in school settings, but to do so successfully, CBT must be modified to accommodate busy academic schedules, to include both parents and teachers, and to align with academic or other accommodations. Applied Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Schools is a textbook for students and guide for practitioners looking to apply CBT in school settings. In this text, the assembled authors unpack CBT's theoretical development and provide an overview of its research support and applications for children and adolescents. Essentials for all CBT practitioners, such as behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring, and exposure and response prevention are covered in detail. The book also highlights relevant laws and ethics codes and walks readers through basic therapy micro skills. Special attention is paid to culturally responsive mental health services and key skills like psychoeducation, relaxation training, and mindfulness. The book concludes with tips for incorporating technology to supplement therapy and enhance client engagement. Printable handouts for children and families, as well as therapist worksheets are included in addition to school-based case studies that illustrate CBT's flexibility. Applied Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Schools is the go-to resource for students learning CBT, early career school-based practitioners and more seasoned professionals looking to draw more proactively on CBT skills in practice.

Applied Cognitive Behavior Therapy in Schools fills a critical gap
in our training of mental health and special education
professionals who work in our nation's schools. By blending the
current knowledge and practice of CBT with introductions to school
infrastructure and policy, the editors and assembled experts
provide newcomers to the field with the critical knowledge needed
to select and implement state-of-the-art CBT practices in their own
schools.

The availability of pragmatic tools to assist in the application of
skills remains a critical yet often overlooked component of
effective training and service delivery. Applied Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy in Schools fills this gap both as a guide for
training new practitioners in schools, and as a handbook of
practical methods when applying strategies previously mastered.
Covering a range of considerations including rationale for CBT,
implementation, technology, and termination, Applied Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy in Schools deserves a spot on every
practitioner's bookshelf, if not on their desktop.
*Eric Rossen, PhD, NCSP, Director, Professional Development &
Standards, National Association of School Psychologists*
New practitioners will love this book. As a trainer of school
psychologists, I have seen new practitioners avoid providing
therapy in the schools because they feel underprepared. Reading
this book is like getting a CBT booster. It connects theory to
practice within an MTSS framework while providing many examples,
resources, and step-by-step guides for CBT implementation.
