Childhood nightmares are a common phenomenon; the prevalence rates indicate that up to 5% of the children suffer from quite frequent nightmares. The etiology of nightmares is best explained by a vulnerability/stress model but one has to take cognitive avoidance as a maintaining factor into consideration. The therapeutic approach consisting of confrontation, coping and training is easily applied--even by non-professionals--and the efficacy has been demonstrated for adult nightmare sufferers.
儿童噩梦是一种常见现象；患病率表明，高达5%的儿童经常遭受噩梦困扰。噩梦的病因最好用易感性/压力模型来解释，但必须将认知回避作为一个维持因素加以考虑。由对抗、应对和训练组成的治疗方法很容易应用——即使是非专业人员也能应用——而且其疗效已在成年噩梦患者中得到证实。
