This groundbreaking volume is an important step to developing acceptance and mindfulness treatments for children and adolescents. The book highlights the many conceptual and practical challenges in extending this approach from adults to children and families.

This book will be of high interest to practitioners and students from a wide range of disciplines who wish to expand their work in new and creative ways.
