Answer to Question 2

The CBT treatment program Coping Cat, developed by Philip Kendall and his colleagues, is one of the most carefully evaluated treatments for youngsters 7 to 13 years old who have GAD, SAD, and SOC (Kendall, Furr, & Podell, 2010). A teen version is available, as is an Australian adaptation (Coping Koala). This approach emphasizes learning processes and the influence of contingencies and models, as well as the pivotal role of information processing. Treatment is directed at decreasing negative thinking, increasing active problem solving, and providing the child with a functional coping outlook. The intervention creates behavioral experiences with emotional involvement, while simultaneously addressing thought processes (Kendall et al., 2010).
