Many children and adolescents struggle with emotional difficulties that require some sort of care. Dealing with phobias, social anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic symptoms can be an overwhelming experience, not only for children, but for their parents or guardian as well. Where do you turn for help? Where do you even start? What makes an effective treatment, and how can someone not versed in child psychology tell the difference between evidence-based treatment and one that isn’t?

In The Art of Child Therapy, expert child psychologist Lilach Rachamim takes readers into the world of psychological therapy for children and adolescents, exploring the relationships formed between therapist and patient as well as the psychological methods that help children, parents, and therapists alike.

In each chapter, Dr. Rachamim combines storytelling that immerses readers in the lives of children and teens facing psychological challenges. Alongside these engaging narratives about their struggles and therapeutic encounters, the book offers information about the issues and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) treatment methods illustrated through the therapeutic journey of each child or adolescent.

Through realistic and vivid case studies, The Art of Child Therapy reveals the scientific background of CBT for children and adolescents without letting the details and facts obscure the mystery and magic of the conditions at hand.
