Recent meta-analytic data suggest a need for ongoing evaluation of treatments for youth depression. The present article calls attention to a number of issues relevant to the empirical evaluation of if and bow cognitive behavior therapy for child depression works. A case series of 6 children and a primary caregiver received treatment-individual CBT for the child and behavioral parent training involving the caregiver and caregiver-child dyad. The effects were generally promising and illustrate bow selection of inclusion criteria, measures, measurement intervals, and informants can alter conclusions. These areas warrant attention in studies of child depression and are important not only in interpreting treatment outcome data but also for conducting sound clinical practice.
