The present study explored the role of parents' in-session and out-session involvement in CBT for anxious children. Fifty 8- to 12-year-old children with a principal DSM-IV anxiety disorder participated in a group CBT program. Parental involvement in the therapy was assessed by the clinician and the children and parents completed a standardized anxiety scale as the main therapy outcome measure, at pre- and post-intervention. In addition, the parents completed questionnaires to evaluate a number of possible correlates of parental involvement, namely, child's anxiety symptoms intensity and interference, parental beliefs about anxiety, expectancies regarding the efficacy of the intervention, and parental anxiety. The results indicated that the parents were moderately involved in the therapy and that socio-economic status and parental beliefs about anxiety were significant correlates of parental involvement. Finally, partial support was found for the idea that parents' involvement in the therapy might have a positive impact on therapy outcome.
本研究探讨了父母在治疗期间和治疗期外的参与在针对焦虑儿童的认知行为疗法（CBT）中的作用。五十名患有主要DSM-IV焦虑症的8至12岁儿童参加了一个团体CBT项目。临床医生评估了父母在治疗中的参与情况，并且儿童和父母在干预前和干预后完成了一份标准化焦虑量表，作为主要的治疗效果衡量指标。此外，父母还完成了问卷调查，以评估一些可能与父母参与相关的因素，即儿童焦虑症状的强度和干扰、父母对焦虑的看法、对干预效果的期望以及父母的焦虑。结果表明，父母在治疗中的参与程度适中，社会经济地位和父母对焦虑的看法是父母参与的显著相关因素。最后，研究发现部分支持这样一种观点，即父母参与治疗可能对治疗效果产生积极影响。
