TI  - The effectiveness of CBT in 3-7 year old anxious children: preliminary data.
PG  - 109-15
AB  - INTRODUCTION: While CBT has been found to be an effective treatment for anxious 
      older children, it has not been empirically validated in children younger than 8 
      years. In this study we report on an open pilot trial to establish whether a 
      modified form of CBT can benefit young children. METHODS: Participants were 37 
      anxious children aged 37-89 months attending a university anxiety specialty 
      clinic. Symptom severity and functioning were assessed before and after treatment 
      by independent evaluators. Feasibility and acceptability of the intervention were 
      high. Parents attended part of each treatment session and were considered part of 
      the treatment team. RESULTS: Patients exhibited significant improvement from pre 
      - to post-treatment assessments after an average of 8.3 treatment sessions, using 
      the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and the Global Assessment of 
      Functioning Scale (GAF) ratings. CONCLUSIONS: A modified form of CBT with active 
      parent involvement may be a useful tool in treating anxiety disorders in 
      preschool and early school aged children.
