“…If treatment is administered in a manner that is enjoyable, emphasizes collaboration, and processes emotionally laden material in a gradual, emotionally sensitive, and supportive manner, caregiver receptivity to treatment is likely to be increased. One method suggested in the literature as a vehicle for developing skills and processing information in a motivating and engaging manner is through the use of structured therapeutic games (STGs; Misurell, Springer, & Tyron, 2011;Springer & Misurell, 2012).…”

Game-based cognitive-behavioral therapy group model for nonoffending caregivers utilizes structured therapeutic games to assist parents following child sexual abuse. Game-based cognitive-behavioral therapy group model is a manualized group treatment approach that integrates evidence-based cognitive-behavioral therapy components with structured play therapy to teach parenting and coping skills, provide psychoeducation, and process trauma. Structured therapeutic games were designed to allow nonoffending caregivers to process their children's abuse experiences and learn skills necessary to overcome trauma in a nonthreatening, fun, and engaging manner. The implementation of these techniques allow clinicians to address a variety of psychosocial difficulties that are commonly found among nonoffending caregivers of children who have experienced sexual abuse. In addition, structured therapeutic games help caregivers develop strengths and abilities that they can use to help their children cope with abuse and trauma and facilitates the development of positive posttraumatic growth. Techniques and procedures for treatment delivery along with a description of core components and therapeutic modules are discussed. An illustrative case study is provided.

Research has begun to identify factors that may moderate the effects of interventions for symptomatology associated with child sexual abuse (CSA). However, there is disagreement about which factors may be important for different populations. The present investigation examined predictors of treatment outcomes among 166 predominantly economically disadvantaged and culturally diverse CSA survivors between the ages of six and ten, who were treated using game‐based cognitive‐behavioural therapy (GB‐CBT). Predictor variables included demographic characteristics (i.e. age, gender, ethnicity, household income) and abuse‐related risk factors (i.e. degree of invasiveness of abuse, frequency of instances of CSA and type of relationship to the perpetrator). Treatment outcomes included internalising and externalising symptoms, sexually inappropriate behaviours, knowledge of abuse and personal safety skills. Results indicate that participants' responsiveness to treatment was not impacted by demographic or abuse‐related risk factors. Thus, group treatment appears to be effective for treating a wide range of problems following CSA, irrespective of clients' varied demographic background and abuse characteristics. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Key Practitioner Messages: GB‐CBT is an integrative treatment approach for survivors of CSA, combining features of trauma‐focused cognitive‐behavioural therapy (TF‐CBT), play therapy and group therapy. It is important to investigate whether demographic and abuse characteristics impact treatment outcomes for CSA to determine whether children respond differently to treatment based on pre‐existing characteristics. GB‐CBT participants experienced improvements in internalising and externalising symptoms, sexually inappropriate behaviours and personal safety skills, irrespective of their demographic backgrounds and varied abuse histories.
