Summary

Anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders are the most common mental health disorders in childhood and adolescence. A parenting intervention for youth with anxiety, called Supportive Parenting of Anxious Childhood Emotions ("SPACE"), has been recently developed to help target anxiety in children. In this intervention, therapists meet individually with parents to help them reduce anxiety behaviors in their children and support adaptive behaviors in their children. The purpose for the proposed study is to demonstrate the treatment efficacy of SPACE compared to a low-contact, therapist-supported bibliotherapy version of this intervention.
