CONFERENCE ABSTRACT Childhood anxiety
disorders: A major challenge for the future
of mental health
Considerable progress has been
achieved in clinical research on childhood
anxiety disorders (CADs). Prospective
longitudinal studies have shown that CADs are
major pacemaker for adult psychopathology.
However, compared to the richness of research on
anxiety disorders in adulthood there are still
accumulated needs for more research with
children. In particular, there is an urgent need
in understanding the etiology and treatment of
childhood anxiety disorders. Based on a
developmental psychopathology framework the
presentation will give an overview of the role
of CAD for improving mental health. It will
summarize current cutting edge research on the
etiology and treatment of anxiety disorders in
children with a focus on the role family in CAD.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) an
established first-line treatment for anxiety
disorders in children will be introduced and
strategies for the improvement of mental health
in children will be discussed.
