RAINBOW: A Child- and Family-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment for Pediatric Bipolar Disorder is a comprehensive, evidence-based treatment manual designed specifically for children ages 7–13 with bipolar spectrum disorders and their families. Developed by experts in pediatric mood disorders and tested in a randomized clinical trial (RCT), RAINBOW integrates psychoeducation and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with complementary techniques from mindfulness-based intervention, positive psychology, and interpersonal therapy to address the range of therapeutic needs of families affected by this disorder. Guided by the evidence on the neurobiological and psychosocial difficulties accompanying pediatric bipolar disorder, this treatment targets the child and family across seven core components: Routine, Affect Regulation, I Can Do It, No Negative Thoughts and Live in the Now, Be a Good Friend/Balanced Lifestyle for Parents, Oh How Do We Solve This Problem, and Ways to Get Support. Throughout the treatment, the child and family will learn how to identify mood states and triggers of mood dysregulation, and develop cognitive and behavioral strategies for improving mood stability. Children will build social skills, and caregivers will develop greater balance and self-care in their own lives. The family will learn ways to use routines, problem-solving, and social support to improve overall family functioning. Intended for qualified child-focused mental health professionals, this manual includes the conceptual background of the treatment and user-friendly step-by-step instruction in delivering RAINBOW with families, including handy session outlines and engaging worksheets for the child and caregiver(s).

Chapter 3, “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Theory and Practice,” presents the history, examines the theoretical underpinnings, and explains the essential skills and techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Theoretical principles, such as cognitive distortions, underlying assumptions and schema, and their presentation in older adults, are discussed. The treatment approach of CBT is outlined, including the nature of the therapeutic relationship, changing cognitions, behavioral strategies, the use of homework in treatment, and special considerations and adaptations for practice with older clients. Various contexts and settings where CBT is implemented are summarized, such as individual and group settings within community-based, acute-care, and long-term-care facilities. The chapter ends with the case example of cognitive behavioral treatment with an older female caregiver, which highlights and illustrates CBT practice with older adults.

Drawing upon a large secular literature, Christian approaches to cognitive-behavioral therapy have emphasized the importance of helping clients to change false assumptions about themselves, their faith, and the world. A common clinical challenge, however, is that clients indicate that they know the truth in an academic sense, but are not able to relate to and incorporate the truth in such a way that it transforms their lives. They know the truth, but it does not set them free. This article describes a number of approaches to assess core assumptions accurately, to help clients to take different perspectives about changing resistant assumptions, and to utilize behavioral strategies, social support, imagery and prayer as vehicles for experiencing and incorporating God's truth in a deeper way.
