Christiane Brems, an experienced clinician, supervisor, and educator, presents a metatheoretical yet practical guide to working with children ages 3 to 12 years. She draws heavily on developmental, interpersonal, family systems, and self-psychological schools of thought and integrates the core components of all of these approaches in a clear and concise manner. She stresses the need for intensive assessment to precede conceptualization and treatment planning so that treatment techniques are dictated by the needs of each child and family. Brems has contoured the third edition to meet the practical needs and expectations of students and practitioners. Divided among four sections, the chapters follow the logical development of clinicians, mirroring the natural flow of work with children--from the practitioner's self-exploration, to learning about special aspects of children (such as diversity and development), to awareness about the special needs and demands of children as related to environmental, legal, and ethical issues. Brems prepares clinicians to discover their own personal traits that may facilitate or hinder their work with children. She walks child therapists and counselors through the initial stages of intake, assessment, and conceptualization. The material on assessment instruments is thoroughly updated; discussions refer to the latest versions of instruments, and if new instruments emerged that meet one of the purposes deemed essential to child treatment, they are included. The text contains case examples, each illustrating a specific therapeutic technique.

The fundamental principles of direct clinical work with children! Christiane Brems, an experienced psychotherapist and educator, offers a comprehensive integrated approach to psychotherapy with children aged 3 to 12 years. She contends that the combination of psychodynamic and behavioral approaches creates change in children and helps the therapist recognize important features in a child’s life. Brems’s clear, jargon-free writing style makes this a valuable book for both practitioners and students. It is appropriate for courses in clinical or counseling psychology, counselor education, clinical social work, marriage and family counseling, and child psychiatry. Outstanding features include: 1) draws on developmental, interpersonal, family systems, and self-psychological schools of thought; 2) mirrors the sequence of events in an actual treatment situation, making it possible to read along in the book as the therapy of a child evolves; 3) does not push any single theoretical approach to psychotherapy, but instead provides a thorough foundation for assessment and conceptualization that can be tailored to the child; and 4) recognizes a variety of treatment techniques, including simple play, art, storytelling, behavior modification, and parent education.
