Since 2000, a great deal of attention and discussion in child psychotherapy has centered around the topic of evidence-based treatments—psychosocial interventions that have been tested in scientific studies and shown to benefit youths relative to some comparison condition. An update on the status of evidence-based psychosocial treatments for children and adolescents (Silverman and Hinshaw 2008) identified 46 separate treatment protocols for child and adolescent mental health problems that meet the criteria for “well established” or “probably efficacious” therapies set forth by Chambless and Hollon (1998). The majority of the treatments designated as “well established” fall under the broad umbrella of cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT). These mental health problems span multiple diagnostic categories, including autism spectrum disorders, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, attention problems and disruptive behavior, traumatic stress reactions, and substance abuse.
