Kognitive Verhaltenstherapie bei Depressionen im Kindes- und Jugendalter

Vorgehen, Wirksamkeit und Weiterentwicklungen

Published Online:October 29, 2012https://doi.org/10.1024/1422-4917/a000197

Abstract

Die Kognitive Verhaltenstherapie (KVT) bietet einen theoretisch und empirisch gut abgeleiteten Therapieansatz bei depressiven Kindern und Jugendlichen. Ihre Anwendung bei dieser Indikation ist gemäß vorliegenden Leitlinien und Wirksamkeitsstudien zu empfehlen. Vor allem im Hinblick auf die bisher ermittelten nur kleineren bis moderaten Effektgrößen sowie fehlenden Befunde zur langfristigen Wirksamkeit und zu Wirkfaktoren sind jedoch zusätzliche Forschung und konzeptionelle Weiterentwicklung erforderlich. Der Artikel gibt zunächst einen kurzen Überblick über Grundlagen und Inhalte der KVT bei depressiven Kindern und Jugendlichen. Im Weiteren werden neuere Befunde und Einschätzungen zu ihrer Wirksamkeit sowie aktuelle Weiterentwicklungen und Perspektiven vorgestellt.


Cognitive behavior therapy for depression in children and adolescents – procedure, effects, and developments

Cognitive behavior therapy offers a theoretically and empirically valid therapeutic approach for children and adolescents suffering from depression. It can be recommended according to present guidelines and efficacy studies. Further research and conceptual development, however, is necessary especially regarding the small to moderate effect sizes as well as the lack of long-term efficacy and effect factors. This article gives a short overview of the basics and contents of cognitive behavior therapy for depressive children and adolescents. It furthermore presents the latest findings and an assessment of its efficacy and relevant developments and perspectives.
