Abstract: 

Over two decades of psychotherapy research studies have been conducted to determine the most efficacious treatments for childhood mental disorders. This body of research has yielded impressive and mounting evidence for the effectiveness of several forms of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for childhood internalizing disorders—anxiety, depression—and behavior therapies for externalizing disorders—conduct and oppositionaldisorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), etc. Despite the advances in knowledge produced by this body of research, significant gaps remain in identifying the “active ingredients” that underpin actualbehavior change and therapeutic effectiveness.
