Making Friends with Children is a fully manualized guide for therapists working with children with peer problems.
This unique and empirically proven treatment was the first to involve parents in the treatment process, allowing for generalization to schools and homes.
Pioneering authors have created "Make Friends," an integrated social skills training program that draws on over 12 years of research.
Children learn skills to initiate mutually satisfying social interactions through a step-by-step treatment.
These social interactions help children gain positive peer recognition and develop satisfying friendships, ultimately improving their overall quality of life.


This book contains clinical and empirical evidence, vivid case studies, parent education handouts, and detailed instructions for completing tasks.
Additionally, it provides a summary of child development literature, assessment methods, and various approaches to social skills training for children, making it a useful resource for therapists who wish to try friendship training.
