The impact of treatment delivery format on response to cognitive behaviour therapy for preadolescent children with anxiety disorders
Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry Mar 23, 2018
McKinnon A, et al. - Researchers primarily assessed the impact of the child's primary anxiety diagnosis on changes in clinical severity (of the primary problem) during individual cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), group CBT and guided parent-led CBT. In addition, they investigated the impact of the child's primary anxiety diagnosis on rates of remission for the three treatment formats. They noted no significant differences between delivery formats among children with primary generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder (SoAD), or separation anxiety disorder (SAD). However, children with primary specific phobia (SP) demonstrated markedly larger reductions in clinical severity following individual CBT compared to group CBT and guided parent-led CBT. In the analysis of remission responses, the results were mirrored with the exception that individual CBT was no longer superior to group CBT for children with a primary SP.
