About Us
Workbook Publishing, Inc. is dedicated to bringing well-researched, empirically-supported, and practical books, software, and audiovisual programs for mental health professionals, school counselors, research professionals, or anyone seeking information and programs to help youth with emotional, cognitive, and behavioral problems.
Our materials are specially designed for work with youth – engaging, appealing, and developmentally appropriate. The materials guide the implementation of cognitive-behavioral therapies where the goal is to provide opportunities for youth to learn and practice skills to meet their specific needs. Whereas adults who receive psychological services may be less in need of friendly and directive materials, youth can benefit greatly from having engaging and appealing workbooks, software, and audiovisual aides to guide their experiences.
Our focus to date has been in publishing psychological treatment manuals and materials to address childhood disorders, including stress and anxiety, depression, anger/aggression, behavior problems, and other emotional challenges. We also offer parenting guides.
Authors of our publications adhere to the scientist-practitioner model and our programs are either empirically-supported or evidence-based. That is, the data gathered in research are used to determine what strategies are included in the programs. Moreover, in several cases, the programs have been implemented and evaluated with the results indicating that the treatments are effective, and useful in multiple mental health settings. Further research evaluation will inform and enhance the programs—being built with research they remain open to changes based on research.
