I would highly recommend this book to those who have an interest in or work with children and adolescence. ( BPS South Western Branch Review , 1 August 2013)
An extensive background to anxiety disorders in children is covered; it is rich in detail and evidence-based. Issues of epidemiology, classification and outcome predictors are addressed, along with the impact of comorbid disorders on the treatment and assessment of anxiety disorders. The authors provide a well-balanced discussion of factors related to elevated anxiety and the associated implications of these factors for treatment. This book is a great resource for the treatment of childhood anxiety disorders, with helpful, practical recommendations presented for treating children with anxiety disorders.

(BPS South Western Branch Review, 1 August 2013) This authoritative handbook edited by Essau and Ollendick is THE state-of-the-art review and summary of evidence-based treatment and prevention approaches for various anxiety-related disorders in children and adolescents. Important and useful feature include the focus on the etiological and theoretical frameworks useful for understanding these disorders, provision of treatment goals and methods for different disorders, inclusion of very helpful session-by-session examples of some programs, and suggestions of exciting emerging approaches (one-session treatments; virtual reality; computer-based treatments). The Handbook will be an invaluable text for developmental psychopathology and child intervention courses, and for practitioners who want to remain abreast of current work in the field.?John E. Lochman, PhD, ABPP; The University of Alabama Essau and Ollendick have successfully accomplished the enormous task of presenting all one needs to know about anxiety disorders in children and adolescents. Remarkably, in this single volume -- a full and comprehensive account of cutting edge research and clinical strategies. Kudos to the editors, kudos to the contributors, and especially, kudos to the children and adolescents who will ultimately benefit from the enhanced knowledge this volume so ably disseminates to the reader.?Wendy Silverman, Professor of Psychology, College of Arts and Sciences and Director of Child and Family Psychosocial Research Center at Florida State University, Miami
