“…These two trials in older children of the cognitive approach to intervention (TF‐CT) are encouraging and the results are in line with a broader literature endorsing cognitive‐behavioral approaches (Cary & McMillen, 2012). However, to date, there has been only one small pilot clinical trial examining any form of CBT in younger children with symptoms, but not a diagnosis, of PTSD, in which children were allocated either to receive 12 sessions of manualized CBT or to a waitlist control group (Scheeringa, Weems, Cohen, Amaya‐Jackson, & Guthrie, 2011).…”

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a clinical condition that occurs after a discrete traumatic event, such as an accident or assault. Research into PTSD has primarily been adult‐focused; however, there is a growing body of evidence evaluating the theory and treatment of PTSD in young children. Consequently, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) interventions for PTSD in youth have been developed that focus on 3 core components of the cognitive model–a disorganized memory of the trauma, maladaptive appraisals of the trauma and its effects (meanings), and dysfunctional coping mechanisms (management). Here, we describe the extension of this treatment approach (termed CBT‐3M) to very young children (3–8 years) through the case of Dylan, an 8‐year‐old motor vehicle accident survivor. This serves as an illustration of the underlying theory and its successful application. Further work is intended to provide evidence of the efficacy of this treatment via an ongoing treatment trial.

“…Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for children, including young children, who are experiencing posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) after a traumatic event (Cary and McMillen 2012; Cohen et al 2004; de Arellano et al 2014; Scheeringa et al 2007). TF-CBT, a therapist-led treatment, is being widely disseminated (Cohen and Mannarino 2008; Ebert et al 2012; Jensen et al 2014; Murray et al 2013; Sigel et al 2013).…”

Parents’ Perception of Stepped Care and Standard Care Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Young Children

et al. 2015

Delivery systems other than in-office therapist-led treatments are needed to address treatment barriers such as accessibility, efficiency, costs, and parents wanting an active role in helping their child. To address these barriers, stepped care trauma focused-cognitive behavioral therapy (SC-TF-CBT) was developed as a parent-led, therapist-assisted therapy that occurs primarily at-home so that fewer in-office sessions are required. The current study examines caregivers’ perceptions of parent-led (SC-TF-CBT) and therapist-led (TF-CBT) treatment. Participants consisted of 52 parents/care-givers (25–68 years) of young trauma-exposed children (3–7 years) who were randomly assigned to SC-TF-CBT (n = 34) or to TF-CBT (n = 18). Data were collected at mid-and post-treatment via interviews inquiring about what participants liked, disliked, found most helpful, and found least helpful about the treatment. Results indicated that parents/caregivers favored relaxation skills, affect modulation and expression skills, the trauma narrative, and parenting skills across both conditions. The majority of parents/caregivers in SC-TF-CBT favored the at-home parent–child meetings and the workbook that guides the parent-led treatment, and there were suggestions for improving the workbook. Reported disliked and least helpful aspects of treatments were minimal across conditions, but themes that emerged that will need further exploration included the content and structure, and implementation difficulties for both conditions. Collectively, these results highlight the positive impact that a parent-led, therapist-assisted treatment could have in terms of providing caregivers with more tools to help their child after trauma and reduce barriers to treatment.

“…Previously published meta-analyses regarding psychological interventions for children and adolescents suffering from PTSD have largely focused on one specific intervention type, such as traumafocused cognitive behavior therapy (TF-CBT) or school-based interventions, or on a particular type of traumatic exposure, such as sexual abuse (Cary & McMillen, 2012;de Arellano et al, 2014;Harvey & Taylor, 2010;Kowalik, Weller, Venter, & Drachman, 2011;Lenz & Hollenbaugh, 2015;Macdonald et al, 2012). Silverman et al (2008) and Gillies, Taylor, Gray, O'Brien, and D'Abrew (2012) have meta-analyzed the efficacy of multiple psychological treatments for children and adolescents who have been exposed to different traumatic events.…”
