Parent-based Treatment for Youth With Anxiety and Obsessive-compulsive Disorder: Comparison of Therapist-Led and Therapist Assisted Approaches
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Standard SPACE and Bibliotherapy, low therapist contact SPACE for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in Children and 7 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 68 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders are the most common mental health disorders in childhood and adolescence. A parenting intervention for youth with anxiety, called Supportive Parenting of Anxious Childhood Emotions ("SPACE"), has been recently developed to help target anxiety in children. In this intervention, therapists meet individually with parents to help them reduce anxiety behaviors in their children and support adaptive behaviors in their children. The purpose for the proposed study is to demonstrate the treatment efficacy of SPACE compared to a low-contact, therapist-supported bibliotherapy version of this intervention.
