Trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy for children and adolescents: assessing the evidence.

Objective: Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a conjoint parent-child treatment developed by Cohen, Mannarino, and Deblinger that uses cognitive-behavioral principles and exposure techniques to prevent and treat posttraumatic stress, depression, and behavioral problems. This review defined TF-CBT, differentiated it from other models, and assessed the evidence base.

Methods: Authors reviewed meta-analyses, reviews, and individual studies (1995 to 2013).
