本综述定量评估了儿童心理治疗的效果。在75项研究中，接受心理治疗的儿童与对照组或接受另一种治疗的儿童进行了比较。结果表明，儿童治疗与成人治疗的效果相似；接受治疗的儿童比未接受治疗的儿童取得了大约三分之二标准差的结果。虽然行为治疗似乎比非行为治疗更有效，但这种明显的优势在很大程度上是由于行为研究中包括的结果和目标问题的类型。结果没有发现其他治疗特征造成的差异，例如在治疗中使用游戏或单独或小组治疗。这篇综述的证据表明，以前对儿童心理治疗整体疗效的怀疑可以被搁置了。
This review quantitatively assesses the outcomes of psychotherapy with children. Seventy-five studies were examined in which children who received psychotherapy were compared with controls or children receiving another form of treatment. Results demonstrated that therapy with children is similar in effectiveness to therapy with adults; treated children achieved outcomes about two thirds of a standard deviation better than untreated children. Although behavioral treatments appeared to be more effective than nonbehavioral treatments, this apparent superiority was due largely to the types of outcome and target problems included in behavioral studies. No differences in outcome were found to result from other treatment characteristics such as the use of play in therapy or the administration of treatment individually or in groups. The evidence from this review suggests that previous doubts about the overall efficacy of psychotherapy with children can be laid to rest.
