Thomas H. Ollendick, Neville J. King, Peter Muris

approximately 15%... hiện toàn bộ

improved the potential for youth mental health care, yet may be an imperfect fit
to clinical care settings where diagnostic comorbidity and co‐occurring problems
are commonplace. Most EBTs were developed to treat one diagnosis or problem (or
a small homogenous cluster), but most clinically referred youths present with
