'The specialty of clinical child and adolescent psychology has a history that dates back to the turn of the century when the first psychological clinic for children was reportedly established.
As it is currently applied, this broad and wide-ranging specialty took organizational shape from the 1960s through the 1990s, and today child and adolescent psychology shares many
characteristics and plays a collaborative role with other specialties within professional psychology. These include clinical psychology,cognitive and behavioral psychology, school psychology,
and clinical health psychology. In this volume, Dr. Finch and his co-authors provide a comprehensive demonstration of the competencies involved in this specialty, extending far beyond the scope
of the age of its identified patient population. Offering an evidence-based best practices model of intervention informed by an integration of multiple professional competencies from a range of
other specialty areas, this book is an invaluable resource for all those interested in pursuing the clinical child and adolescent specialty practice'--
