TF-CBT is described as a conjoint child and family psychotherapy that has been comprehensively evaluated and designated by the National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center as having the highest level of research support as an "efficacious treatment" for childhood abuse and trauma.
This type of treatment has been evaluated with Caucasian and African American children and adapted for American Indian/Alaska Native populations,Latinos,hearing-impaired individuals,immigrant Cambodians,and children of countries including Zambia,Uganda,South Africa,Pakistan,the Netherlands,Norway,Sweden,Germany,and Cambodia (National Child Traumatic Stress Network,2008) .
Components of TF-CBT include a focus on reducing negative emotional and behavioral responses resulting from trauma and correcting trauma-related beliefs through gradual exposure to memories and emotional associations with the traumatic event. Relaxation training is also used to reduce negative emotions. Parents are included in the treatment process as an emotional support for the child. Parents are also provided with strategies for helping to manage their child's emotional reaction to the trauma.
