title: [Inpatient cognitive-behavioral therapy of adolescents with anxious-depressed school absenteeism: changes during treatment and stability over time].
abstract: 90 adolescents with chronic anxious-depressed school absenteeism underwent inpatient cognitive-behavioral therapy. A strong, highly significant decline of school absenteeism, anxiety and depressive symptoms rated by parents and youngsters was found. Reductions remained stable over a two months follow-up period. A cautious interpretation of the results is important because of the lack of a control condition.
