Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions

  • Chapter
International Handbook of Phobic and Anxiety Disorders in Children and Adolescents

Part of the book series: Issues in Clinical Child Psychology ((ICCP))

Abstract

Anxiety has long been a central issue in the field of psychology, having played a key role in the development of several theories, the assessment of psychological constructs, and the evaluation of forms of psychological treatment. More recently, the formal diagnostic categories of anxiety disorders have been empirically investigated, and the treatment of anxiety disorders (primarily focused on behavioral and cognitive interventions with adult populations) has received meaningful research endorsement (e.g., Barlow, Cohen, Waddell, Vermilyea, Klosko, Blanchard, & Di Nardo, 1984; Butler, Cullington, Munby, Amies, & Gelder, 1984; Clark, 1986). Taking into account childhood developmental concerns, a promising therapeutic intervention for children with anxiety disorders is emerging (e.g., Kane & Kendall, 1989; Kendall et al., 1992).
