“…Among the treatments with the most empirical support in the treatment of mental disorders for children and adolescents are those with a cognitive-behavioral and psychoeducational approach, which is considered the first-line treatment (Bekker et al, 2017). However, the effect sizes on outcomes are smaller compared to other interventions: between small and medium for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, medium for anxiety, and large for OCD (David et al, 2018;Galvez-Lara et al, 2018); there is a considerable percentage of children and adolescents who do not benefit from the interventions (i.e., between 30-40% for the treatment of childhood anxiety disorders according to Sandin et al, 2018) and the limited scope of psychotherapy (Jorm et al, 2017).…”

Early intervention may improve the long-term prognosis and reduce the risk of chronic courses of illness (e.g.…”

“…Despite the importance of evaluating the efficacy of psychological treatments (Moriana et al, 2017; Gálvez-Lara et al, 2018), the knowledge of the empirical research’s results and its later integration by the professional in the clinical practice does not get to consolidate completely in the applied fields (Herbert, 2003; Kazdin, 2008, 2011; Barlow et al, 2013). In this line, some studies have evidenced that psychologist, often, do not use evidence-based treatment (Lilienfeld, 2010; Dobson and Beshai, 2013; Dozois, 2013).…”
