Depression is a real and serious condition that can derail lives and put a child at risk. This book offers parents a strategy that enables them to become active partners in the treatment of their child's depression. Chapters begin with an overview of teenage mood problems followed by an explanation of the author's unique treatment approach, known by the acronym, LEEAPP (LEAP for short). Based on cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), LEAP offers parents a plan to change a troublesome situation or negative pattern of interaction with their teen. Case studies throughout the book present a variety of situations and illustrate how to use the LEAP.
