ABSTRACT

The previous chapter answered the question “Can this child and family benefit from CBT?” This one addresses two further questions: “Can this child and family benefit from CBT now?” and “What else is needed?” Answers to these questions are particularly important in community settings, where complex presentations are the rule rather than the exception. The focus of the chapter is formulating treatment plans that include multiple interventions, so evidence for combining CBT with other interventions is reviewed first.
