Abstract

In the concluding chapter of this handbook, we explore key takeaways and future considerations of CBT-based intervention in treating youth with acute and chronic health conditions. A common theme across these 28 chapters is the nuanced nature of delivering mental health services for those with comorbid medical complexity. Time and time again, CBT demonstrates unique advantages in integrated pediatric health-care settings. The ability to adapt to the vast patient diversity that present in pediatric settings, while remaining true to the pillars of the biopsychosocial model and foundation of CBT intervention, illustrates the exciting opportunities ahead for pediatric psychologists.
