The Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents , based in groundbreaking research from Jill Ehrenreich-May, David H.
Specifically, the child and adolescent Unified Protocols help youth by allowing them to focus on a straightforward goal across Emotional disorders: reducing intense negative emotion states by extinguishing the distress and anxiety these emotions produce through emotion-focused education, awareness techniques, cognitive strategies, problem-solving and an array of behavioral strategies, including a full-range of exposure and activation techniques..
The child and adolescent Unified Protocols frame effective strategies in the general language of strong or intense emotions and promote change through a common lens that applies across Emotional disorders, including anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive Disorders and others.
The Unified Protocols for Children and adolescents include a Therapist Guide with two full courses of therapy described (a modular, individual therapy for adolescents; and, a more structured, group therapy for children, complete with a full parent-directed component), as well as two Workbooks, one for Children along with their parents or caregivers, and one for adolescents.
Barlow, and colleagues, suggest that there may be a simpler and more efficient method of utilizing effective strategies, such as those commonly included in CBT and third-wave behavior therapies, in a manner that addresses the broad array of Emotional disorder symptoms in Children and adolescents.
