Unified protocol för barn är skriven för åldrarna 7–13 år och hjälper barn att hantera starka känslor. Barnet får vara en känslodetektiv som genom lekar, aktiviteter och experiment lär sig olika knep som gör det lättare att delta i och uppskatta vardagsaktiviteter. Dessa knep kan användas oavsett om det är rädsla, ångest, nedstämdhet, ledsenhet, ilska, skam eller någon annan känsla som ställer till med problem.

The Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents, based in groundbreaking research from Jill Ehrenreich-May, David H. Barlow, and colleagues, suggest that there may be a simpler and more efficient method of utilizing effective strategies, such as those commonly included in CBT and third-wave behavior therapies, in a manner that addresses the broad array of emotional disorder symptoms in children and adolescents. The Unified Protocols for children and adolescents include a Therapist Guide with two full courses of therapy described (a modular, individual therapy for adolescents; and, a more structured, group therapy for children, complete with a full parent-directed component), as well as two Workbooks, one for children along with their parents or caregivers, and one for adolescents.The child and adolescent Unified Protocols frame effective strategies in the general language of strong or intense emotions and promote change through a common lens that applies across emotional disorders, including anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorders and others. Specifically, the child and adolescent Unified Protocols help youth by allowing them to focus on a straightforward goal across emotional disorders: reducing intense negative emotion states by extinguishing the distress and anxiety these emotions produce through emotion-focused education, awareness techniques, cognitive strategies, problem-solving and an array of behavioral strategies, including a full-range of exposure and activation techniques.

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is arguably the most effective psychotherapy model for children and adolescents with emotional disorders (e.g., anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, trauma and stress-related disorders, etc.). Emotional disorders in youth frequently overlap or co-occur, and yet many of the existing, effective therapies available for children and adolescents with emotional disorders target just one or a smaller subset of these problems.The Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents, based in groundbreaking research from Jill Ehrenreich-May, David H.

The child and adolescent Unified Protocols do this by framing effective strategies in the general language of strong or intense emotions, more broadly, and by targeting change through a common lens that applies across emotional disorders.

The Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children (UP-C) and Adolescents (UP-A) are evidence-based interventions originally designed to target core dysfunctions underlying emotional disorders, such as anxiety and depressive disorders, in children and adolescents. However, the UP-C and UP-A re increasingly being used to address other diagnostic clusters and problem areas that share these same core dysfunctions in a diverse range of delivery settings and cultural contexts.Applications of the Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents is a practical guide for clinicians and researchers on applying the core principles of the UP-C and UP-A to treat children and adolescents with a broad range of emotion disturbance across settings in which youth typically receive care, including community mental health settings, pediatric primary care, and telehealth. In addition to providing an overview of the rationale for using UP-C and/or UP-A with each presenting problem or within each delivery setting, chapters provide detailed, step-by-step guidance on adapting and applying the UP-C and UP-A for their particular problem area, delivery setting, or cultural context. Chapters include case examples, suggestions for overcoming potential barriers in clinical delivery, and practical "tip sheets" for clinicians. When used in conjunction with the UP-C and UP-A Therapist Guide and Workbooks, this volume is an essential resource for clinicians using transdiagnostic interventions to treat diverse, complex, and comorbid clients in real-world therapy settings.

La terapia cognitiva conductual (TCC) es probablemente el marco psicoterapeutico mas eficaz para los ninos y adolescentes con trastornos emocionales (por ejemplo, ansiedad, depresion, trastornos obsesivo-compulsivos, trastornos relacionados con el trauma y el estres, etc.).A pesar de que los trastornos emocionales en los ninos y jovenes con frecuencia se solapan o coexisten, una gran parte de las terapias eficaces de las que disponemos para la poblacion infanto-juvenil se dirigen unicamente a un trastorno emocional o a un subconjunto pequeno de trastornos de este tipo.Los protocolos unificados para el tratamiento transdiagnostico de los trastornos emocionales en ninos y adolescentes, basados en las innovadoras investigaciones de Jill Ehrenreich-May, David H. Barlow y colaboradores, proponen que puede existir un metodo mas simple y eficiente de utilizar estrategias eficaces, como las incluidas habitualmente en la TCC, de forma que pueda abordarse la amplia gama de sintomas emocionales en ninos y adolescentes. Los protocolos unificados para ninos y adolescentes posibilitan esto al enmarcar estrategias efectivas en el lenguaje general de emociones fuertes o intensas, de una forma mas generica, y al enfocar el cambio a traves de una lente comun que se aplica a traves de los trastornos emocionales.Los protocolos unificados para ninos y adolescentes ayudan a los jovenes permitiendoles centrarse en un objetivo concreto a traves de los trastornos emocionales, como reducir los estados emocionales negativos e intensos mediante la extincion del distres y ansiedad que producen estas emociones, a traves de la educacion focalizada en la emocion, tecnicas de conciencia plena, estrategias cognitivas y de resolucion de problemas, y una gran variedad de estrategias conductuales, que incluyen una gama completa de tecnicas de exposicion y activacion conductual.El protocolo unificado para ninos y adolescentes esta compuesto por un manual del terapeuta y dos manuales del paciente(cont.)
