焦虑和抑郁是高度流行和经常共病的疾病类别与显着损害的青年。虽然目前的transdiagnosis协议解决了成人和青少年人群中的一系列潜在的焦虑和抑郁症状，但对于有这些情绪障碍症状的学龄儿童，几乎没有类似的治疗选择。这种方案可能对青春期前出现焦虑和抑郁症状的儿童特别有益，因为这些青少年可能面临更严重和更长期的疾病风险。出于这个原因，情感侦探，一种认知行为团体治疗计划，被开发为现有的老年人群情感障碍transdiagnosis协议的向下延伸（例如，Barlow等人，2010年; Escherreich等人，2008年）用于7至12岁的儿童及其家人。本文将讨论情感侦探的理论基础，并提供了一个描述其15届会议的协议，其独特的和发展敏感的功能，并在正在进行的开放试验中招募的2名儿童的案例研究。
Anxiety and depression are highly prevalent and frequently comorbid classes of disorder associated with significant impairment in youth. While current transdiagnostic protocols address a range of potential anxiety and depression symptoms among adult and adolescent populations, there are few similar treatment options for school-aged children with symptoms of these emotional disorders. Such a protocol could be of particular benefit to children experiencing emergent anxiety and depressive symptoms prior to adolescence, as these youth may be at risk for a more severe and protracted course of illness. For this reason, Emotion Detectives, a cognitive behavioral group treatment program, was developed as a downward extension of existent transdiagnostic protocols for emotional disorders in older populations (e.g., Barlow et al., 2010; Ehrenreich et al., 2008) for use with children ages 7 to 12 and their families. This paper will discuss the theoretical basis for Emotion Detectives and provide a description of its 15-session protocol, its unique and developmentally sensitive features, and case studies of 2 children enrolled in an ongoing open trial.
