A powerful therapy plan that therapists can use in group or individual therapy to help children cope with anxiety
Randye J. Semple is an assistant professor of clinical psychiatry at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. She trains psychiatry residents and provides clinical supervision. She has presented at national conventions and published scientific papers. Jennifer Lee is a clinical psychologist in private practice specializing in mindfulness-based treatments for mood and anxiety disorders. She also teaches graduate students in mental health counseling. Lee has published articles and chapters on mindfulness and child and adolescent mental health.
"Informed by the authors' years of personal experience and rigorous
methodological development, this book provides a treatment manual
that is both clinically accessible and supported by empirical
clinical trials. . . . Semple and Lee's MBCT-C manual is one of the
most detailed, thorough, and eloquently written manuals in the
mindfulness intervention armamentarium."
--Joshua C. Felver, in a review for the journal, Mindfulness,
October, 2011
"Semple and Lee do a very good job integrating CBT with
mindfulness-based approaches. Where similarities exist they are
pointed out and where differences exist they are made known.
Primarily aimed at practitioners, this book could also be a
valuable adjunctive textbook in any graduate level psychology,
psychiatry, or social work program where child- and family-focused
psychotherapy are part of the curriculum. This does represent a new
and exciting addition to those treatment paradigms focusing on
childhood anxiety that have already received empirical
support."

Child & Family Behavior Therapy, June, 2012
