Cognitive behavioral therapy for 4- to 7-year-old children with anxiety disorders: A randomized clinical trial.

Abstract

Results suggest that developmentally modified parent-child CBT may show promise in 4- to 7-year-old children.

Temperament and parenting predicting anxiety change in cognitive behavioral therapy: The role of mothers, fathers, and children

“…To the best of our knowledge only one study found one aspect of negative affect (behavioral inhibition) in anxious children to have a negative effect on treatment. Cognitive behavioral therapy outcome in 64 children, ages 4-7 was negatively predicted by behavioral inhibition, assessed with observational laboratory protocols (Hirshfeld-Becker et al, 2010). Apart from this study in the very young, negative affect has not been studied in relation to treatment effects in children or adolescents.…”

Reporting of harms in randomized controlled trials of psychological interventions for mental and behavioral disorders: A review of current practice

“…In five trials [33][34][35][36][37], a reliable change index [38] was used to identify whether a proportion of participants had deteriorated. Six trials [39][40][41][42][43][44] used the clinical global impression of improvement (CGI-I) [45], which is a clinician-administered scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). However, only three of these reports included information about the proportion of participants that deteriorated [39,40,44].…”

However, only three of these reports included information about the proportion of participants that deteriorated [39,40,44]. Two trials evaluated an intervention for patients with dementia and their caregivers [46,47], and assessed change in caregivers on a scale ranging from 1 (got much worse) to 5 (improved a lot).…”

Do Patient- and Parent-reported Outcomes Measures for Children With Congenital Hand Differences Capture WHO-ICF Domains?

“…Although this four-part model may only provide a broad framework for conceptualizing disability, it likely offers a better overall assessment of how a child with a CHD functions in daily life as compared with alternative measures that focus only on body function/structure or activities. Psychosocial function is highly relevant for children with CHD [42,81]. In fact, Franzblau et al [30] found that 58% of children and 40% of parents reported stress related to their CHD.…”
