Cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT) is a treatment approach that has achieved tremendous success in the treatment of many psychological disorders. It specifically focuses on helping patients to change their thinking styles and behaviours to help them to overcome distress. In recent years the approach has been imported to work with children, with varying degrees of success. One explanation for the mixed results is likely to relate to how children‘s caregivers are involved in the treatment. A good example of this is the treatment of child anxiety, in which treatment outcomes have varied enormously across studies (39-84% remitted following treatment). In recent years parental thinking styles and behaviours have been identified that may contribute to the development of emotional problems in young people. Based on a series of experiments with clinical and non-clinical groups of people, the proposed research aims to identify key thinking styles experienced by parents of clinically anxious children and examine how these thinking styles influence parents‘ behaviours, and consequently how children feel and behave. This research has the potential to have a significant impact on the development of clinical practice by providing understanding and therapeutic techniques for the successful adaptation of CBT to young populations.

认知行为疗法(CBT)是一种在治疗许多心理障碍方面取得巨大成功的治疗方法。它特别侧重于帮助患者改变他们的思维方式和行为，以帮助他们克服痛苦。近年来，这种方法被引入到儿童工作中，取得了不同程度的成功。对结果喜忧参半的一种解释可能与儿童照顾者如何参与治疗有关。儿童焦虑症的治疗就是一个很好的例子，在不同的研究中，治疗结果有很大的不同(治疗后39%-84%的患者缓解)。近年来，人们发现父母的思维方式和行为可能会导致年轻人情绪问题的发展。基于对临床和非临床人群的一系列实验，这项拟议的研究旨在确定临床焦虑儿童的父母经历的关键思维方式，并研究这些思维方式如何影响父母的行为，从而影响孩子的感受和行为。这项研究有可能对临床实践的发展产生重大影响，因为它为CBT成功适应年轻人群提供了理解和治疗技术。
