This paper discusses the common cognitive features characterizing children's most frequently referred problems, with an emphasis on the difficulties' prevalence, gender ratio, and family incidence. The efficacy of cognitive treatments is examined in terms of dropping-out, regression, and generalization. In view of Piaget's notion on the concrete thinking of children, it is suggested that cognitive therapy be adopted for children by translating abstract, holistic concepts into concrete examples and by relating to day-to-day events which children can use, relate to and understand. Two cases studies are presented to illustrate the cognitive therapeutic process with young children.
本文讨论了儿童最常被提及问题的常见认知特征，重点关注这些问题的普遍性、性别比例和家庭发生率。从辍学、倒退和泛化的角度考察了认知治疗的效果。鉴于皮亚杰关于儿童具体思维的观点，建议通过将抽象的整体概念转化为具体例子，并联系儿童能够运用、关联和理解的日常事件，对儿童采用认知疗法。本文呈现了两个案例研究，以说明对幼儿的认知治疗过程。
