 Cognitive Therapy (CT)

A system of psychotherapy with an operationalized treatment is based on an elaborated theory of psychopathology and personality. The theory has been empirically validated in hundreds of cognitive science studies, and the therapy itself has been demonstrated to be effective in hundreds of randomized controlled trials for a wide variety of psychosocial, psychiatric disorders problems, and medical conditions with psychological components. Research has shown that CT is highly effective in helping patients not only overcome their disorders but also in preventing relapse. (Beck, 2005) and (Hollon et al., 2005)

Family Therapy

Is designed to help families collaborating in order to address problems. It addresses specific issues that affect the psychological health of the family, such as major life transitions or mental health conditions. It may be used as the primary mode of treatment or as a complementary approach. The course of treatment is often brief, and most family therapy models seek to address the communication (verbal and nonverbal) styles of the family, as well as any individual issues that may be interfering with the cohesiveness of the family system.

Is a components-based model of psychotherapy that addresses the unique needs of children with PTSD symptoms, depression, behavior problems, and other difficulties related to traumatic life experiences. Trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy is a short-term treatment approach that can work in as few as 12 sessions. It also may be provided for longer periods of time depending on the child’s and family’s needs. Individual sessions for the child and for the parents or caregivers, as well as joint parent-child sessions, are part of the treatment. As with any therapy, forming a therapeutic relationship with the child and parent is critical to TF-CBT.
