Abstract

Cognitive-behavioral treatment has been identified as a probably efficacious treatment for anxiety disorders in children. In the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder in childhood, two cognitive-behavioral treatments have received themost empirical attention, Kendall's "Coping Cat" program and Silverman and Kurtines's transfer-of-control approach. The following case study involves the use of the transfer-of-control approach and medication in the treatment of a 6-year-old with generalized anxiety disorder. At the onset of treatment, this child was unable to engage in age-appropriate social activities, eat in public, and be separated from his parents. In addition, he had lost 10 pounds and was having significant difficulties sleeping. At 3-month follow-up, he was reengagedwith his peers, separating from his parents, and had returned to his normal weight. 10.1177/1534650103259632
