Investigating the Effects of an Added Parent Component to Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Youth With Anxiety Disorders
Investigation is designed to determine whether the gold standard for treating anxious youth
is enhanced by teaching parents to become their anxious child's CBT coach. Children (7-17
years old) with either Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Phobia, or Separation Anxiety
Disorder are treated with a combination of the Coping Cat Program and a parent-training
intervention that is designed to teach the child's parents the same cognitive and behavioral
skills that the child is learning and how to help their child to complete exposure
activities. The research methods are parallel to those used in the CAMS study so that this
data can be merged with that data set to evaluate the relative efficacy of the enhanced
intervention.
