title: Utility of cognitive-behavioral procedures for social skills training with children: a critical review.
abstract: Thirty-three studies that have used cognitive-behavioral social skills training procedures were critically reviewed. These studies were classified under four broad categories: modeling, coaching, treatment packages, and social problem solving. Seven criteria were used to critically evaluate these studies: subject characteristics, treatment specification, outcome measures, statistical analyses, experimental design, generalization, and cost effectiveness.
