  • Title: Targeting parental psychopathology in child anxiety.
    Author: Vidair HB, Fichter CN, Kunkle KL, Boccia AS.
    Journal: Child Adolesc Psychiatr Clin N Am; 2012 Jul; 21(3):669-89. PubMed ID: 22801001.
    Abstract:
    The increased risk of anxiety in children of parents with psychopathology is a significant public health problem, as early-onset is associated with a variety of difficulties later in life. The aim of this article is to determine if treating parents is associated with improvements in child anxiety through the review of both top-down (parent identified for treatment) and family-focused child anxiety treatment studies. The authors present conclusions based on the state of the current literature, discuss implications for research and clinical practice, and propose utilizing a family-based model for treating parental psychopathology, parental behavior, and child anxiety.
