New Research To Refine Approaches In Psychotherapy
* Shannon Dorsey, Ph.D., of the University of Washington, will develop and pilot test a novel combination of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and an "engagement intervention." The program is designed to help foster children with mental health problems overcome the effects of trauma with the active participation of their foster parents. To increase the likelihood of success, the program will apply techniques to ensure foster parents remain engaged and interested in the children's treatment.
Note: More foster children being used as lab rats? Surprise Surprise. Perhaps the trauma would be lessened if the real parents were allowed to stay involved in their lives. Just a thought.
