“…This approach has increased the reliability of the results by making the assessment more objective. In our study, the increased CGAS scores after intervention were in line with other patent-only CBT studies [17,18,36,39]. Even though CGAS has been a commonly used scale in these studies, CGI-S has rarely been used.…”

OBJECTIVES: Considering the role of parenting in the aetiology and maintenance of anxiety disorders, working with parents is a promising treatment strategy. Triple P-positive parenting programme is a parent-focused cognitive behaviour therapy. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Triple P in improvement in childhood anxiety disorders and also to assess its effects on behavioural and emotional problems, general anxiety level, severity of the disorder, and general psychosocial functioning. Parents' mental health and general well-being were also evaluated. METHODS: In this randomized controlled study, the sample consisted of 74 children, aged between 8 and 12 years, who were diagnosed as anxiety disorder by Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Age Children Present and Life-time Kiddie (K-SADS-PL). Following randomization into two equal groups, mothers of the first group participated to Group Triple P Programme, while the second group was receiving no treatment. The two groups were compared right before and after the intervention on rates of anxiety symptoms, emotional, and behavioural variables. RESULTS: Children's general anxiety level was significantly lower in the intervention group following Triple P implementation. Behavioural and emotional problems were also reduced in the intervention group. Parental anxiety and general well-being were not significantly different between two groups. CONCLUSION: It is considered that Triple P may be useful in the treatment of children's anxiety disorder but further studies about Triple P on children's anxiety disorders are needed.

“…Results regarding changes in CDI, CFSEI and SAS-SR scores as indicated from mixed-model regression analyses are shown in table 1. Similarly with previous studies [8,9,10], independently of the type of treatment, significant improvements in depression symptoms, self-esteem and social adjustment were found from BL to EOT and from BL to FU. Changes from EOT to FU were significant for depression symptoms and self-esteem.…”

“…In both reports, at end of treatment, the between-group effect sizes were small. Unusually for trials of psychotherapy, treatment effects increased during the 2-year follow-up period (the so-called "sleeper effect"), including a move into the nonclinical range for the average child with internalizing problems (in the psychodynamically treated group only) 48 . There were no significant differences between treatments on the CBCL at end of treatment.…”

This paper reviews the outcomes of psychodynamic psychotherapy (PP) for children and adolescents reported in papers identified by a comprehensive review of the literature on treatment evaluations of psychological and medical interventions for mental disorders in pediatric populations. The review identified 48 reports based on 33 studies. Reports were individually evaluated in terms of methodological rigor.Randomized trials, quasi-experimental and observational studies are considered separately. RCTs were independently rated on a 25-item scale of methodological strengths. Although a small number of studies with findings indicating beneficial effects of PP for pediatric mental disorder were identified, the review found no compelling evidence from RCT data supporting the use of PP as an individually delivered psychological therapy. In almost all the studies, when contrasted with family-based interventions, PP fares no better and appears to produce outcomes with some delay relative to family-based therapies. While the review shows PP to be an effective treatment, it is clearly understudied and its treatment principles may be most efficaciously delivered in non-traditional contexts such as parent-child or family therapy. Further rigorous evaluations are needed but evidence to date suggests that the context in which PP is delivered should be extended from the traditional context of individual therapy.2
