Description

In this Video Abstract Professor Sue Spence discusses her paper 'Internet‐delivered cognitive behavior therapy with minimal therapist support for anxious children and adolescents: predictors of response'. In general, Internet‐delivered cognitive behavior therapy (iCBT) produces significant reductions in child and adolescent anxiety, but a proportion of participants continue to show clinical levels of anxiety after treatment. It is important to identify demographic, clinical, and family factors that predict who is most likely to benefit from iCBT in order to better tailor treatment to individual needs.
