Research protocols in CBPT
This course explores how rigorous research and clinical practice intersect in CBPT. It begins with the historical and ethical foundations of psychotherapy research, then examines why and how we study treatment effects in children — the strengths and limits of randomized clinical trials alongside case reports, case series, systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
About this course
This course explores how rigorous research and clinical practice intersect in CBPT. It begins with the historical and ethical foundations of psychotherapy research, then examines why and how we study treatment effects in children — the strengths and limits of randomized clinical trials alongside case reports, case series, systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
You will learn to identify the methodological challenges that make child psychotherapy research complex (developmental variability, therapist effects, blinding, accessibility, ethics) and to translate them into practical, ethically sound study designs for public and private clinical settings.
