Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Children and Adolescents, edited by Eva Szigethy and translated by Wang Jianping, is a cognitive-behavioral treatment manual for children and adolescents with unique psychological problems. It also highlights how parents and the whole family can be actively involved in the treatment process of children. Some empirical evidence is shared with the audience: depressive disorders in children and adolescents are relatively common, recurring and damaging. The prevalence of depression is 1 to 2 percent in children and 3 to 8 percent in adolescents (Lewinsohn et al., 1998). It is the leading factor in morbidity and mortality in the child population (Brent, 1987; Bridge et al., 2006) and can be associated with significant functional impairment at school and work, frequent legal involvement, and increased risk of substance abuse and suicide (Birmaher et al., 1996; Kandel and Davies, 1986). Clinical guidelines for acute interventions for depression in children and adolescents recommend the use of antidepressants, psychotherapy, or both, and one of the most thoroughly studied psychotherapeutic approaches is cognitive behavioral therapy (Birmaher et al., 2007). Cognitive-behavioral therapy has the strongest evidence base to support its efficacy for depression in children compared to other therapies. Clinical trials and meta-analyses have shown that cognitive-behavioral therapy alone is effective in the treatment of depression (Birmaher et al., 2000; Brent et al., 1998; Harrington et al., 1998; Weisz et al.) However, in the Treatment for Adolescents with Depression Study (TADS), cognitive-behavioral therapy alone was not more effective than placebo for acute treatment and was also less effective than monotherapy (March et al., 2004). The reason why cognitive-behavioral therapy was not more effective is not known. The psychotherapy was very intensive, so it may be that the treatment provided too much skill but not enough intensity. However, after 18 weeks of treatment, the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy alone “caught up” with the efficacy of combined therapy and monotherapy (Kennard et al., 2009b). The Adolescent Depression Antidepressants and Psychotherapy Trial (ADAPT) compared the efficacy of monotherapy with the efficacy of pharmacotherapy combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy and found no difference (Goodyer et al., 2007). et al., 2007). Although these findings may seem inconsistent with those of the Treatment of Adolescent Depression Study (TADS), the fact remains that in the latter, the difference in acute response rates between monotherapy and combination therapy was statistically insignificant, especially for those patients with more severe depression.
