Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy for children: impact of the trauma narrative and treatment length
Overview
This study examines the efficacy of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for children aged 4-11 who have experienced sexual abuse, specifically comparing treatment lengths of eight versus sixteen sessions with or without a trauma narrative component. The research involved 210 participants randomly assigned to four conditions to assess improvements in symptomatology, parenting skills, and safety skills. Results indicate that TF-CBT was effective across all conditions, with the eight-session group including a trauma narrative showing particular efficiency for reducing abuse-specific distress and anxiety.
