Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Comparing Group, Family, and Individual Settings
According to Guo et al. (2021), children and adolescents with anxiety can receive individual cognitive-behavioral therapy (I-CBT) or group cognitive-behavioral therapy (G-CBT); however, it is unclear which has a better outcome. In nine randomized control trials (RCTs) performed on post-treatment results, no significant difference between I-CBT and G-CBT in efficacy or acceptance were found. However, when age was the measure, I-CBT was definitively significant compared to G-CBT in adolescents post-treatment than in children.
Another example is adolescent eating disorders (Dalle Grave et al., 2019). Family-based treatment (FBT) and enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-E) view an eating disorder differently. Dalle Grave et al. (2019) state that FBT is the top-recommended form of therapy in treating adolescents with an eating disorder. FBT is great when the parents are committed to the treatment but a failure when parents, or only one parent, show up for the appointments. However, CBT-E has shown promising results in children and adolescents, ages 11 to 19, when FBT is ineffective.
One challenge that a PMHNP can encounter when using CBT is a patient’s distorted views of themselves, others, and their future (Psyche Exam Review, 2019). The combination of distortions is called the cognitive triad (Psyche Exam Review, 2019). Another challenge is the co-occurrence of medical problems and psychiatric issues. Cook et al. (2017) state that when a patient has medical issues, it affects a person receiving mental health services related to the costs. When medical problems are present, patients have such costs that they do not adhere to their psychiatric care needs.
