Abstract:
Although there is increasing interest in the use of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy(CBT) with children, the role of parents in child-focused CBT has received comparativelylittle attention. The different ways in which parents have been involved in child-focused CBTare discussed and the results of those studies comparing child CBT with and without parentalinvolvement are summarised. The results fail to provide consistent support for the widelyheld clinical belief that parental involvement enhances the effectiveness of child-focusedCBT. Further research to determine the optimal way of delivering child-focused CBT interms of effectiveness and use of limited clinical time is required.
