“…they met five out of the six criteria required for diagnosis on the PDS). It can be argued that PTSD symptoms should be seen to exist along a continuum (27, 30). Numerous authors have raised this issue of sub‐threshold or partial PTSD and the need for clinicians to consider intervening with traumatised individuals who fall short of a full diagnosis of PTSD (27, 30–32).…”

“…It can be argued that PTSD symptoms should be seen to exist along a continuum (27, 30). Numerous authors have raised this issue of sub‐threshold or partial PTSD and the need for clinicians to consider intervening with traumatised individuals who fall short of a full diagnosis of PTSD (27, 30–32). This highlights the fact that if a single cut‐off point was to be used, we run the risk of failing to identify patients just below the cut‐off who may be suffering and in need of specialist intervention.…”

“…The IES is a commonly used measure of PTSD‐related symptoms (18). It cannot be used diagnostically (27), but is designed to record the presence and intensity of 15 post‐traumatic stress symptoms. We administered the IES at time‐point three to contribute to the assessment of construct validity of the UK‐PTSS‐14.…”

“…Phase 2 is derived from the CBT program for anxiety disordered children developed by Kendall et al (1990), and helps the child develop coping skills based on a fourstep coping template, ''The STAR Plan''. Phase 3 is based on a gradual exposure procedure for processing and resolving trauma, derived from behavioural, cognitive and expressive therapy models adapted for children (Macdonald, Lambie, & Simmonds, 1995;Yule, Smith, & Perrin, 2005). Phase 4 provides a transition to life beyond therapy; any issues that are so far unresolved are addressed and relapse prevention is covered.…”

“…Supported by the evidence, a CBT approach holds that gradual exposure is an optimal strategy for reducing PTSD symptoms (Kendall et al, 1992). This can be achieved in a number of ways, including using creative media to create a coherent trauma narrative, and desensitisation to trauma triggers in a safe therapeutic environment (Yule, Smith, & Perrin, 2005). In particular, sand-play therapy has been found clinically useful for children as a medium for processing abuse and violence trauma in children (Grubbs, 1994;Parson, 1997).…”

Trauma-focused CBT with maltreated children: A clinic-based evaluation of a new treatment manual

The effectiveness of a locally developed trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT) program for maltreated children with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was examined across different therapists in a child protection clinic setting. An earlier phase of the research piloting the program had provided promising results. This second phase involved two studies evaluating the completed TF-CBT manual delivered by (a) the developer and (b) other therapists. A single-case multiple-baseline design was used to demonstrate the controlling effects of the treatment on PTSD symptoms and child coping. Eight 9-13-year-old abused children with PTSD were treated. Positive outcomes support the effectiveness of the TF-CBT program delivered by both the developer and other therapists. The study design and methodology were robust enough to confirm empirically the clinically beneficial effects and potential for this new program. It was also apparent, however, from study limitations, including missing data for some patients, that there are a number of challenges in carrying out such research in a busy child protection service setting with multiply-abused patients. This paper considers implications and ways forward for engaging in empirically supported practice as well as future development and research.

Early identification of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in children is important to offer them appropriate and timely treatment. The Children's Revised Impact of Event Scale (CRIES) is a brief self-report measure designed to screen children for PTSD. Research regarding the diagnostic validity of the CRIES is still insufficient, has been restricted to specific populations, and sample sizes have often been small. This study evaluated the reliability and validity of the 8-item (CRIES-8) and 13-item (CRIES-13) versions of the CRIES in a large clinically referred sample. The measure was completed by 395 Dutch children (7-18 years) who had experienced a wide variety of traumatic events. PTSD was assessed using the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for DSM-IV: Child and Parent version. A cutoff score of 17 on the CRIES-8 and 30 on the CRIES-13 emerged as the best balance between sensitivity and specificity, and correctly classified 78%-81% of all children. The CRIES-13 outperformed the CRIES-8, in that the overall efficiency of the CRIES-13 was slightly superior (.81 and .78, respectively). The CRIES appears to be a reliable and valid measure, which gives clinicians a brief and user-friendly instrument to identify children who may have PTSD and offer them appropriate and timely treatment.
