Developmental Perspectives on the Treatment of Anxiety Disorders in Youth

The introduction of the DSM-III ushered in the development and empirical testing of treatments for youth with anxiety disorders, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). And yet, while CBT and medication have been found to be effective acute treatments for anxiety in youth (Walkup, et al., 2008), long-term remission is not maintained for nearly half of child and adolescent responders to these interventions (Ginsburg et al., 2014). In this three-part talk, Dr. Albano will first review the prevalence and impairments associated with anxiety disorders in youth and explore factors accounting for the lack of robust and lasting response to evidence-based treatments. The second part of the talk is focused on two critical limitations, the lack of focus on context, specifically the limited role of parents in therapy, and the impact of failing to address the youth’s level of independent functioning. For the typical youth, developmental transitions from early childhood through to emerging adulthood are accompanied by uncertainty and anxiety but mostly full of optimism and growth (Arnett, 2004). Youth with anxiety disorders encounter a more difficult course characterized by everyday tasks appearing insurmountable, resulting in failure to meet normative milestones and achieve age-appropriate independent functioning. A systematic approach to understand and meet the tasks of development and empower youth to function at their highest level of independence will be presented with the aim to increase outcomes for youth, specifically for CBT but applicable to psychosocial treatments in general. In the final part of the talk, Dr. Albano will discuss novel innovations in adapting evidence-based treatments for anxiety in youth ages 7 through to emerging adulthood, specifically to address specific patient-caretaker dependency, role transitions, and attainment of behaviors necessary for age-appropriate independent functioning within the contexts that are unique to the youth’s developmental age.
