The Effectiveness of an Individual Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment for Physically Abused Children

Abstract

The aim of this study was to describe a case series of physically abused children who received an individual cognitive-behavioral treatment program. Seven physically abused children took part in 14 weeks of twice weekly individual therapy. The treatment program was developed with a focus on gradual exposure and on cognitive and emotional processing. The children were assessed before and after treatment using measures of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and attribution style. Significant improvements were found in depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, feeling different from peers and interpersonal distrust. The implications and limitations of this study were discussed with suggestions for future study.
