A critical evaluation of the role of cognitive behaviour therapy in children and adolescents with depression
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 June 2009
Abstract
Depressive disorders are relatively common in adolescents although less so in younger children. They accrue significant morbidity and frequent long-term sequelae as well as increased suicide risk in sufferers. Evidence-based treatment of depression in children and adolescents is the subject of intense investigation and debate. This article reviews the current evidence base for cognitive behaviour therapy in this group and makes recommendations for further areas of research.
