I bought this book as an optional reading component for an intervention with children class. It's very clear, structured and concise. I love the way there are tables detailing what kind of methods with for which age groups and WHY. I cannot love this enough. So many textbooks and books in general that I read do not give a clear explanation to why they deem certain interventions necessary (Oh hey, let's throw a ton of literature reviews in the text as to what seems to work instead!). As a professional, I won't have the time to peruse long blocks of texts while sitting in a window seat, mulling over the meaning of life. I have clients who need that time, and this book is an excellent resource if you need to refresh possible skills and techniques that you already learnt, but just perhaps needed a reminder of your options.
This is an excellent book - providing a clear, contextual, and practical approach to clinical interviewing with children and youth. Despite the critical importance of this area in evaluating the individual, there are very few "how to" resources in the field. This book puts the clinical interview within the context of a multimodal evaluation, and identifies specific strategies and interventions by developmental level. It breaks down the interview process by areas of interest and/or concern (e.g., family issues, peer relations, school problems, etc.), and also has chapters on risk assessment interviewing (both self-harm and potential for harming others). Without a doubt, this is the best book I have read on how to interview children and youth in the past several years.
I have used this as a guide for working with Adolescents in a urban school setting. It has helped gather a better understanding of what may be going on with a kid and is a good guide for different types of questions to ask them to get information.
