Tóm tắt

There has been a recent focus on the processes that underlie intervention delivery for children and adolescents throughout the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) literature. Certain process variables have been associated with treatment outcome among youth receiving CBT. Data for these process variables including: the therapeutic alliance or therapeutic relationship, child and parent involvement, other child and therapist variables, and issues of diversity, are reviewed. Based on this data, specific clinical recommendations are made. The treatment relationship as a very important process (VIP), and the facilitation of CBT so that it is real and relevant to youth are emphatically discussed. Process issues in modular CBT are identified. Ultimately, genuine collaborative empiricism and guided discovery preserve the therapeutic relationship as a VIP, and foster the customization of therapeutic tools and the treatment trajectory.
