Enhanced CBT for Anxiety Disorders Parent Treatment Manual

This online resource contains the Enhanced Cognitive-Behavioural Treatment for Parent–Child Dyads with Anxiety Disorders: Therapist Manual for Parent Sessions © 2021 by Samantha Galea and Katherine A. Lawrence. This parent treatment manual has been developed to accompany the equivalent child treatment manual. Together, the two manuals comprise the enhanced cognitive-behavioural treatment for parent–child dyads with anxiety disorders. Research indicates that bidirectional transmission and maintenance of anxiety within parent–child dyads may be better targeted when parents and children receive equivalent and concurrent CBT. Accordingly, the current intervention was designed to simultaneously treat parent and child anxiety disorders, as well as to provide opportunities for anxiogenic dyadic factors to be specifically targeted via additional treatment components.
