Anxiety disorders are common among children and adolescents. Effective treatments exist, but meta-analyses indicate that 40% of children continue to have significant symptoms posttreatment. Alternative therapeutic interventions are needed. Emotion-focused parental interventions have been found to be effective in targeting children's internalizing difficulties, but no research has examined remission. In this pilot trial, we examined whether Emotion Focused Skills Training (EFST) was associated with remission of diagnosis in children with anxiety. Nine 8–14-year-olds diagnosed with anxiety were recruited at a mental health clinic in Norway. Both parents of each child attended a 2-day EFST program followed by five 1-hour weekly sessions. Pre- and posttreatment diagnosis and severity were evaluated using a multiinformant approach using the Spence Children's Anxiety Scale and the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule. After treatment, 33% no longer met criteria for any anxiety diagnosis, 66% obtained remission from their primary anxiety diagnosis, and 89% from at least one.

针对焦虑儿童的家长进行以情绪为中心的技能培训。试点研究

焦虑症在儿童和青少年中很常见。有效的治疗方法是存在的，但荟萃分析表明 40% 的儿童在治疗后仍然有明显的症状。需要替代治疗干预措施。研究发现，以情绪为中心的父母干预可以有效解决儿童的内化困难，但没有研究检验缓解情况。在这项试点试验中，我们检查了情绪聚焦技能训练（EFST）是否与焦虑儿童的诊断缓解有关。挪威的一家心理健康诊所招募了 9 名被诊断患有焦虑症的 8-14 岁儿童。每个孩子的父母都参加了为期 2 天的 EFST 课程，随后每周参加 5 次每次 1 小时的课程。使用 Spence 儿童焦虑量表和焦虑症访谈表，采用多信息方法评估治疗前和治疗后的诊断和严重程度。治疗后，33% 的人不再符合任何焦虑诊断的标准，66% 的人从最初的焦虑诊断中获得缓解，89% 的人至少有一个焦虑诊断得到缓解。
