This book provides a robust theoretical, empirically based, and practical guide for delivering cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to Jewish-American youth and their families. It is rooted in traditional CBT practices, addressing a neglected area of clinical competency, clinical training, and supervision. The chapters integrate CBT with multiple religious cultural variations affecting this heterogeneous population, dispelling a one-size-fits-all mentality. The volume considers all the major diagnoses impacting pediatric patients and their caregivers (e.g., depression, anxiety, disruptive behavior disorders, eating disorders) and details contextual variations. It concludes with various creative CBT-based interventions for Jewish youth and delineates cautions, recommendations, and future directions for theory, research, and clinical applications. Key areas of coverage include: Major principles and practices associated with CBT and DBT. Basic elements of various psychiatric conditions. Explanation of various Judaic values, principles, text, teachings, cultural idioms, and practice. Innovative adaptations of traditional CBT spectrum techniques and therapeutic processes. The Handbook of CBT with Jewish-American Youth is an essential resource for clinicians, therapists, and other professionals as well as researchers, professors, and graduate students in developmental, clinical child, and school psychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, pediatrics, social work, behavioral therapy/rehabilitation, nursing, and special education.
