This book is a very important manual that aims to fill a significant gap in psychotherapy in the Greek context. It addresses cognitive-behavioral family therapy from both a theoretical perspective and a more practical/experiential side.

Among the authors are well-known names in the field of clinical psychology and cognitive-behavioral therapy, as well as many new scientists who are being trained in this approach at the Institute for Research and Treatment of Behavior (IRIT), the first non-profit educational organization in Greece for cognitive-behavioral therapy.

The first part of the book describes the historical journey and the key elements of cognitive-behavioral family therapy, as well as the role of the family in the psychopathology of children, thus providing the reader with a concise, fully updated, and detailed scientific knowledge on the topic addressed by the book.

Additionally, aiming to enrich the practical knowledge of therapists, the second part presents specific case studies that were addressed with cognitive-behavioral family therapy. These actual cases of children/adolescents with various disorders were managed by psychologists specializing in this particular approach under the supervision of cognitive-behavioral therapists/professors from IRIT.

A fundamental and comprehensive guide to cognitive-behavioral family therapy, which will be particularly useful not only for mental health professionals but also for those practitioners who work with families.
