Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is one of the most commonly used interventions for children (Cary & McMillen, 2011). TF-CBT is a highly structured intervention consisting of weekly 90-minute sessions. The clinician works with the client through eight skills, including psychoeducation, relaxation, affective expression and regulation, cognitive coping, trauma narrative development and processing, gradual exposure, joint parent/child sessions, and enhancing future development (Cary & McMillen, 2011). TF-CBT has a long history and many variations. Clinicians use a variety of other cognitive behavioral treatments that have been adapted to meet the needs of traumatized children (Cary, & McMillen, 2012; Smith et al., 2007). Although numerous cognitive behavioral treatments exist, TF-CBT has received the highest rating rating for supported and effective treatment from many studies (Cary, & McMillen, 2012; Kauffman Best Practices Project, 2004). Studies show that TF-CBT has been effective when working with children and reduces symptoms of post-traumatic stress, depression, and behavioral problems following trauma (Cary & McMillen, 2011). Bisson and Andrew (2009) state through a systematic review of adults that TF-CBT performed eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and outperformed other treatments. The Kauffman Best Practices Project (2004) believes that TF-CBT is “best practice” in the field of child abuse treatment. While many consider TF-CBT to be “best practice,” it may not be the most suitable solution for emotional children. abuse. In many of the studies completed for TF-CBT, the primary abuse studied is sexual abuse. In studies of TF-CBT, they indicate that they work effectively with the physical... middle of the card... unknown. Furthermore, some studies use invalid or non-standardized quantitative questionnaires. Despite these limitations, EMDR interventions have significant clinical outcomes. Because EMDR shows significant results when working with cases of adults who have experienced trauma and children with self-esteem and behavioral problems, EMDR has the potential to be a beneficial treatment for children experiencing childhood emotional experiences. abuse. EMDR is useful for children because it does not require the child to reveal specific details of the trauma. As the child talks about the trauma in general, the clinician asks him to create a visual image in his mind. Furthermore, EMDR does not require homework, specific insights, or intelligence (Luber & Shapiro, 2009). Applying EMDR to child emotional abuse potentially allows children to more quickly achieve a lasting and stable resolution of the trauma.
