Children's Phobias: A Behavioral PerspectiveProvides a systematic and evaluative account of the behavioral approach to children's phobias in so far as the assessment, treatment and prevention of these phobias is concerned. Strives to strike a balance between literature review and practical guidelines for professionals employed in psychiatric, educational and healthcare settings. Sections cover phenomenology, aetiology, and assessment; treatment principles and procedures; conceptual issues; and future directions. Among the specific topics examined comprehensively are childhood fears and phobias, conditioning theory and its re-evaluation, developmental and diagnostic issues, systematic desensitization and emotive imagery, the use of psychiatric drugs, and the role of care providers. |
