Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Youth: Effectiveness in a Community Setting

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

In brief

This effectiveness study is being conducted to determine whether Trauma-Focused Cognitive Therapy (TF-CBT), a treatment model developed in specialty clinics by experts in the treatment of child sexual abuse, can be effectively transported to a state-contracted community mental health agency in the state of Delaware and used effectively by clinicians with little prior TF-CBT experience. The sample is comprised of youths receiving public mental health services and with diverse trauma histories.
