An Introduction to the Unified Protocols for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents

The Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents (UP-C/UP-A) present the compelling idea that there may be a more efficient method of presenting effective strategies, such as those commonly included in cognitive behavioral therapy and third-wave behavior therapies, along with parent-directed approaches, in order to simultaneously address an array of emotional disorders (e.g. anxiety, depression, etc.) concerns in children and adolescents. This introduction to the protocol will include a brief discussion of the rationale and research behind the UP-C and UP-A and an engaging, interactive overview of its key modules.
