Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy with Depressed
and Anxious Children and Adolescents
with
Mark A. Reinecke,
Ph.D.,ABPP, ACT
Professor of
Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences
Chief, Division of Psychology,
Northwestern University
Depression and anxiety during childhood and adolescence are important
clinical and public health concerns. They are recurrent, disabling and place
youth at risk for a range of academic, social and emotional difficulties.
Moreover, they are common--Five to eight percent of adolescents are
clinically depressed, and up to fifteen percent are anxious, at any given
time. In this workshop we will review the latest findings on vulnerability
for these conditions, and will discuss how cognitive-behavioral principles
can be used to guide case formulation and treatment. Specific assessment and
treatment strategies will be discussed. Our focus will be practical—we will
review empirically-supported strategies for quickly and effectively
assisting youth with depression and anxiety. How we think, and what we
think, influence how we feel and how we manage events in our lives. Based on
this simple premise, CBT has emerged during recent decades as a “Treatment
of choice” for many problems, including depression and anxiety. During this
workshop we will review the most recent advances in this important area,
allowing you to use them in helping depressed and anxious children and
adolescents in your schools.
Objectives:
-
Critique recent
research on cognitive, social, and biological risk for depression and
anxiety among youth.
-
Explain diagnosis
and assessment of depression and anxiety among children and adolescents.
-
Discuss
alternative cognitive-behavioral models, and how they can guide case
formulation.
-
Apply “modular”
CBT strategies and techniques.
-
Utilize strategies
for fostering a cooperative relationship with challenging, unmotivated
teens.
-
Critique findings
from recent controlled outcome studies, including the Treatments for
Adolescents with Depression Study (TADS), and their clinical
implications.
