Telemental Health Care for Children and Families

This book examines state-of-the-science telemental health interventions for children and families. It explores the adaptations necessary to provide remote formats of evidence-based models, such as parent-child interaction therapy and trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy. Chapters provide clear descriptions of how to implement interventions in a telemental health format, a review and critique of the empirical evidence supporting them, and useful case studies. The volume addresses the use of telemental health care within parenting interventions, individual child interventions, and family interventions, with particular attention paid to the evidence base of efficacy for families from marginalized and underserved communities.

Key topics covered include:

• Remote assessment of child cognitive functioning
• Parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT).
• Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT).
• Mom Power, for mothers with histories of substance use or trauma.
• Applied behavioral analysis for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
• Cognitive behavioral therapy for children with anxiety.
• Telemental health with LGBTQ+ youth
