Cognitive-behavioral therapy for children with comorbid physical illness

Thompson, Rachel D., Delaney, Patty, Flores, Inti, Szigethy, Eva·2011·Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North America

Abstract

In addition to the usual developmental challenges, children and adolescents with chronic physical illness face psychosocial challenges that affect their quality of life. This review describes different aspects of coping with chronic physical illness in childhood and the empirical evidence examining the usefulness of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for the treatment of children and adolescents with chronic physical illnesses and related psychological comorbidities. Four diseases (diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, and sickle cell disease) were chosen as model illnesses to demonstrate key CBT findings in more detail. Future research recommendations in this challenging population are also addressed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
