In recent years, the Greek literature on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has been rapidly increasing, reflecting the progress being made in this field. This manual addresses the lack of corresponding informational resources for CBT in children and adolescents, including theoretical knowledge about the philosophy and scientific background of CBT, particularly for the youth. A "vivid picture" of how the therapy is applied and functions is provided through case analyses, ensuring the optimal quality of knowledge and a reliable presentation of the authors' clinical experience.

A groundbreaking work in the field of therapeutic approaches to mental health issues in children and adolescents, serving as a valuable resource for clinicians seeking to understand and effectively respond to the needs of young individuals and their families.

The book is organized into three main sections and clearly guides the reader to understand, delve into, and integrate the theoretical background and core principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy with clinical practice. Information is included on the contribution and suitability of the cognitive-behavioral model in addressing dysfunctions in childhood and adolescence, as well as the role of parents and educators. Additionally, disorders and clinical cases are presented, along with new trends in the field of psychotherapy.
