More Evidence Supporting Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

A new study published in the Journal of Child Maltreatment adds more empirical evidence about the efficacy of Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).   The study reviewed follow-up assessments of 158 sexually abused children who had been treated with TF-CBT.  The children had shown significant improvement in 14 outcome measures, and this study showed sustained improvement in those measures at 6 months and 12 months after treatment.
