Concurrent Treatment
Adolescent participants and their parents will receive concurrent cognitive behavioral therapy. Concurrent cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): Individual CBT sessions for parents and adolescents plus combined parent-adolescent family sessions, delivered weekly for 3 months in the acute phase and bimonthly for 3 months in the maintenance phase. The techniques used to teach cognitive restructuring and problem solving to parents will be similar to those taught to the adolescents, except emotion regulation skills will be added to the parent treatment.
Adolescent Treatment Only
Only adolescent participants will receive cognitive behavioral therapy.
