Abstract

In this study 14 children with different anxieties attended in small groups a cognitive-behavioral training program. The groups met once a week over a period of ten weeks. Outcome was evaluated with different questionnares for children and parents and interviews at the beginning and the end of training and ten weeks later. The different measures showed a significant reduction of self-reported anxiety. Anxious, avoident and social insecure behaviour was also reduced. Further the negative self-talk of the children changed into more appropriate positive self-talk. As it was not possible to use an appropriate control group, the results can just be seen as hints for the effectivity of a cognitive-behavioral orientated group therapy program for the treatment of various childhood anxieties. Further research under controlled conditions is necessary.
