Child & Family Behavior Therapy is the ideal supplement to today's growing psychological literature on children, adults, and their families. This peer reviewed/peer refereed journal offers original research, examples, and behavioral techniques for parents, teachers, mental health professionals, and counselors. Dr. Cyril Franks, Editor and founder of the Association for Advancement of Behavior Therapy, along with Co-editor Charles Diament and Associate Editors Howard Paul and Raymond Romanczyk, bring together leading internationally known experts on behavior therapy to review developments in the field and highlight implications for clinical practice.

This journal focuses on the practical applications of behavior therapy, sharing the latest developments, extensive case studies, and step-by-step instructions for using these methods in your own practice. These proven interventions from around the world will facilitate the work of teachers, child psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, school counselors, family therapists, researchers, and other special educators. Regular features include extensive book reviews, case studies, and technique innovations.

In addition, Child & Family Behavior Therapy examines such issues as: interventions for parents as well as children, classroom behavior and homework issues, social skills development for emotionally disturbed children, and behavioral interventions for children with ADHD, conduct disorders, and other presenting problems.
