Key Issues

The growing interest in the use of cognitive behaviour therapy with children and young people has been encouraged by emerging evidence suggesting that CBT is effective with a wide range of child disorders. Typically, models and techniques developed for work with adults have been extended downwards and applied to children. This review questions the appropriateness of this approach and selectively identifies a number of key issues that need to be addressed. The absence of developmentally appropriate theoretical models to understand the onset and maintenance of maladaptive cognitive processes in children is highlighted. This lack of a coherent theoretical framework has led to a proliferation of diverse interventions falling under the general umbrella of cognitive behaviour therapy with the predominant emphasis being behavioural, rather than cognitive. Developmental factors, the nature, extent and type of cognitive processes in children and the important role of the parent in the onset and treatment of childhood problems have received comparatively little attention. There is a need to understand more about the cognitive processes of children and young people and to develop robust and testable developmentally appropriate theoretical models. In turn this will begin to address the question of which specific cognitive behaviour therapy programmes are effective for which childhood problems.

Background: There is increased interest in developing training in cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) with children and young people. However, the assessment of clinical competence has relied upon the use of measures such as the Cognitive Therapy Scale-Revised (CTS-R: Blackburn et al., 2001) which has been validated to assess competence with adults. The appropriateness of this measure to assess competence when working with children and young people has been questioned. Aim: This paper describes the development and initial evaluation of the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Scale for Children and Young People (CBTS-CYP) developed specifically to assess competence in CBT with children and young people. Method: A cross section of child CBT practitioners (n = 61) were consulted to establish face validity. Internal reliability, convergent validity and discriminative ability were assessed in two studies. In the first, 12 assessors independently rated a single video using both the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Scale for Children and Young People (CBTS-CYP) and Cognitive Therapy Scale-Revised (CTS-Revised: Blackburn et al., 2001). In the second, 48 different recordings of CBT undertaken with children and young people were rated on both the CBTS-CYP and CTS-R. Results: Face validity and internal reliability of the CBTS-CYP were high, and convergent validity with the CTS-R was good. The CBTS-CYP compared well with the CTS-R in discriminative ability. Conclusion: The CBTS-CYP provides an appropriate way of assessing competence in using CBT with children and young people. Further work is required to assess robustness with younger children and the impact of group training in reducing inter-rater variations.
