Children and young people diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) have significant social-communication difficulties and impaired empathy and theory of mind skills. These difficulties place them at risk of developing mental health problems, particularly anxiety, depression and obsessive compulsive disorder. Although Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is recognised as an effective intervention for these problems in both child and adult populations, little research has specifically looked at the use of CBT with children and young people with an AS diagnosis. However, limited evidence suggests that CBT, if suitably adapted, is a feasible and potentially helpful treatment option. This paper focuses on the clinical practice of CBT and explores how the underpinning therapeutic relationship can be modified to meet the cognitive needs of this particular group of young clients.
被诊断患有阿斯伯格综合征（AS）的儿童和青少年存在显著的社交沟通困难，共情能力和心理理论技能受损。这些困难使他们有患心理健康问题的风险，尤其是焦虑、抑郁和强迫症。尽管认知行为疗法（CBT）被认为是针对儿童和成人人群中这些问题的有效干预措施，但很少有研究专门探讨针对被诊断患有AS的儿童和青少年使用CBT的情况。然而，有限的证据表明，如果适当调整，CBT是一种可行且可能有帮助的治疗选择。本文重点关注CBT的临床实践，并探讨如何调整基础治疗关系以满足这一特定年轻客户群体的认知需求。
