Abstract
Preliminary data from some of the various treatment approaches outlined above suggest that they provide symptom relief as well as improvement in social competence and emotion management, and that they are consistently superior to nonspecific supportive therapies. These programs, however, are in an early phase of development and require refinement and adaptation for culturally and geographically diverse populations. Finally, there is consensus that interventions should build strengths as well as reduce symptoms. In this way, treatment for children and adolescents also serves as a prevention program against poor outcomes in adulthood.
