"Fonagy is one of the fine minds of our era. He brings a thoughtful, rigorous, no-nonsense approach to intervention science. He and his team of collaborators have produced an unusually comprehensive synthesis of the intervention evidence on a broad array of youth mental health problems. This book is a valuable resource for professionals who work with children and adolescents and for researchers who seek to understand young people and their challenges. It is also an excellent text for classes on developmental dysfunction and youth psychotherapy."--John R. Weisz, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychology, Harvard University“There has never been a greater time for a volume such as this! The second edition provides a sophisticated and thorough state-of-the-art review of current treatments for child and adolescent mental health problems. The growth in evidence-based practice since the first edition is impressive--and so is the capacity of Fonagy et al. to integrate this new body of literature in a way that truly advances our ability to help young people and their families. This volume is essential for clinicians seeking to incorporate evidence into their interventions, as well as an important refresher for experienced clinicians. It would also be used as a text for graduate-level courses in child and adolescent clinical psychology and psychiatry.”--Carla Sharp, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Houston; Director of Research, Adolescent Treatment Program, Menninger Clinic"At a time when trials have advanced rapidly in numbers and scope, this book provides a thorough and thoughtful account of the clinical science about available child and adolescent mental health treatments. The expanded coverage in the second edition, and the accessible summaries of the evidence, will be valuable to practitioners. Since the evidence base for therapies is given increasing importance in treatment planning, the book's emphasis on the limitations of the evidence will also be welcome and stimulating. I recommend this book as a resource for practitioners and students in child and adolescent mental health."--Eric Taylor, FRCP, FRCPsych (Hon.), FMedSci, Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (Emeritus), King’s College London Institute of Psychiatry"The second edition of What Works for Whom? is more than an update. It takes a much broader approach than the first edition, with greater emphasis on the contexts in which interventions for child mental health disorders are delivered. The summaries of evidence for each type of disorder are particularly helpful. I recommend this book as an essential point of reference for all professionals who provide child and adolescent mental health services, and for those training to work in this complex field."--Philip Graham, FRCPsych (Hon.), Emeritus Professor of Child Psychiatry, Institute of Child Health, London, United Kingdom -
