Cognitive-behavioral therapies with youth: guiding theory, current status, and emerging developments.
This article begins with a brief description of the guiding theory behind cognitive-behavioral interventions with youth, such as a therapeutic posture, an important cognitive distinction, and a specific treatment goal. Next, on the basis of a review of the literature, the nature of cognitive functioning, the treatments, and the outcome of treatment studies are described and examined for (a) aggression, (b) anxiety, (c) depression, and (d) attention-deficit hyperactivity. Conclusions and emerging developments are provided.
