Abstract
To some, the idea of doing Cognitive Therapy with children seems absurd: “How are you going to get an 8-year-old to fill out thought records (TRs) and write rational responses?” Others might wonder why a separate discussion of Cognitive Therapy with children and adolescents is needed. After all, don’t the principles of Cognitive Therapy apply to children in the same way as they do to adults? The answer to both questions is similar. The general principles of Cognitive Therapy apply to children and adolescents in the same way as they do to adults. However, children and adolescents differ from adults in important ways and significant adjustments are needed if one is to intervene effectively.
