A Parent-only Group Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Children With Anxiety Disorders: a Control Group Study
23 de abril de 2016 atualizado por: Zahra Shahrivar, Tehran University of Medical Sciences
A Parent-only Group Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Children With Anxiety Disorders: a Control Waiting List Group Study
The fact that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a well known efficacious intervention for children with anxiety disorders (AD) is undeniable.
However, most children with AD have limited access to CBT.
There is some controversial evidence on group CBT in AD involving families in treatment of their children and a published article on efficacy of a parent only group CBT for these children.
Considering these data, the investigators hypothesized that teaching anxiety-fighting skills to parents of children with AD would diminish anxiety symptoms of both parents and children and improve family relational functioning.
