Session Preparation, Behavioral Rehearsal and Homework Assignment: Do These Therapeutic Delivery Strategies Improve Trauma Treatment Outcomes for Youth in Community Outpatient Settings?
This study, co-authored by CHDI's Jason Lang and Kellie Randall and published in the Journal of Child & Adolescent Trauma, used administrative data from a statewide dissemination of Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to examine whether three therapeutic delivery strategies (session preparation, behavioral rehearsal and homework assignment) predicted posttraumatic stress symptom improvement and successful treatment completion.
Their findings suggest that therapists should plan ample opportunities for families to engage in behavioral rehearsal when implementing TF-CBT.
