The prevalence of psychiatric disorders in school-age children is estimated to be 20–30 percent and growing. Many of these psychiatric disorders do not remit spontaneously and appear to become more complex and treatment-resistant with time. This two-day workshop presents guidelines for conducting evidence-based psychotherapy and reviews psychosocial treatments for the most common childhood and adolescent disorders. For each condition, the efficacy of various treatments, the primary treatment targets and components, and a typical treatment plan are presented.
