Banks, Tachelle; Zionts, Paul – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2009
The academic and social challenges facing public schools are enormous. For example, the pressure to meet the demands of the current high-stakes testing environment and reach adequate yearly progress (AYP) goals has arguably never been greater (Luna & Turner, 2001; Sanders, 2003). The energy devoted to academics has supplanted the little time spent…

Hannesdottir, Dagmar Kristin; Ollendick, Thomas H. – Clinical Child and Family Psychology Review, 2007
In this review, we examine the role of emotion regulation in the treatment of children with anxiety disorders.

Gharabaghi, Kiaras – Reclaiming Children and Youth, 2008
Some so-called "evidence-based" interventions are narrow methods which are justified by some quantitative research. This limited focus ignores broader qualitative studies showing that interpersonal relationships wield more impact than technique. Even a cursory review of youth-serving organizations demonstrates that the overwhelming majority of…
