Evidence Concerning the Effectiveness of Psychotherapies With Children and Adolescents
Current Opinion in Psychiatry article at Medscape - "Psychotherapies play an important role in the treatment of psychopathological disorders in children and adolescents. While there is no doubt that, in principle, psychotherapy can be effective in this age group, this does not apply to all psychotherapeutic interventions. It is therefore essential to find out which psychotherapies are effective in which patients and under which conditions. Recent studies investigating this question have focused on empirically supported psychotherapeutic treatments carried out in efficacy and effectiveness studies. A selection of these studies are discussed in this review." [Viewing Medscape resources requires registration, which is free].
