Luo, A., & McAloon, J. (2021). Potential mechanisms of change in cognitive behavioral therapy for childhood anxiety: A meta‐analysis. Depression and Anxiety, 38(2), 220-232.The need to address the agitation that adolescents experience has facilitated research into their cognitive behaviors. For example, the article has considered guided cognitive behavioral therapy. Thus, the therapy was effective in reducing anxiety symptoms in adolescents suffering from an anxiety disorder. The author found that higher levels of self-rated and clinically assessed anxiety symptoms and self-rated depressive symptoms, female gender, and higher levels of computer literacy were associated with better treatment response. Thus, the authors considered that none of the hypothesized variables of the therapeutic process proved effective in predicting treatment outcomes. This has brought to light the personality needed to ensure that the anxiety among the children is controls to manageable levels. It could also provide the basis through which future problems arising from the anxiety could be tackled and addressed with ease.

Stjerneklar, S., Hougaard, E., & Thastum, M. (2019). Guided internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for adolescent anxiety: predictors of treatment response. Internet interventions, 15, 116-125. Childhood anxiety has led to the need to conduct research. For example, prevention of childhood anxiety disorders through parent-child interventions compared to child-centered interventions for children with anxiety disorders can be examined. The article also noted the effects of direct parent-child therapies compared with child-centered interventions on outcomes for children with anxiety disorders. Therefore, it is clear that Stjerneklar’s aim is to provide the results of the meta-analysis showed a small but overall positive and significant effect of parent-child interventions compared to child-centered individual or group interventions (Stjerneklar et al., 2019). The authors relied on a comprehensive and systematic search strategy to identify and locate all relevant published and unpublished studies that met inclusion criteria. Aging requires appropriate attention because it involves various changes in the stage of a person's life. The quest to understand the changes in the body makes it complicated to a greater extent. This suggests that doctors should facilitate physiological treatment that will help them understand the changes in their bodies.

American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, 59(10), 1107-1124 The main reason that led the researcher to engage in the research is the engagement and assessment of children suffering from an anxiety disorder. That is, the recommendations have been shown to be scientific and could be used to support psychosocial and psychopharmacological treatment of anxiety. Another goal is to compile expert-based recommendations for the assessment of anxiety as part of treatment and the implementation of empirically-based treatments in clinical practice. Thus, it is clear that the proposed CBT and SSRI are well established empirically as safe and effective short-term treatments for anxiety in children and adolescents (Walter et al., 2020). The research results showed that children who received a combination of the two treatments experienced more effective treatment than when the two treatments were administered separately. The strength of the study is that a foundation for new knowledge was laid through the findings on the effectiveness of combining treatments. The limitation is that professional judgment may be biased and that it is a small sample of evidence. Future research will look at the different treatments available and examine their effectiveness in treating adolescents with anxiety disorders.

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 59(7), pp. 763-772. The article focuses on the underlying problem is one that the clinician finds the most exhausting of the many psychological discoveries of the adolescent. In this study, "family/parental CBT" was presented as a treatment with direct gatekeeper involvement. Anna aimed to illustrate that in some models the whole family was involved, in others the gatekeepers were available for joint or separate sessions, and in most cases the gatekeepers were co-therapists. Sympathetically, although there were cases in the Genes for Treatment dataset that participated in PC/Web CBT, and some adolescents with other underlying issues. They were present at low frequency in the data set and were therefore excluded from the evaluation.

Jon , F. . B. & Krister , W. F., 2016. Competence and Adherence Scale for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CAS-CBT) for anxiety disorders in youth: Psychometric properties.. Psychological Assessment, 28(8), p. 908. This article focuses on the assessment of the psychometric properties of the Competence and Adherence to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CAS-CBT) scale. The CAS-CBT scale is an eleven-item scale developed to measure adherence and competence to behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety in adolescents. In a randomized controlled feasibility study involving adolescents. Jon aimed to analyze mixed anxiety problems, to identify and examine inter-item relationships, intra-item consistency and factor structure. Internal consistency was acceptable. Factor analysis recommended a two-factor design, with factors relating to the CBT construct and goal attainment.

Krister , W. F., Wendy , N. & Tina , D. J., 2017. Mothers’ and fathers’ internalizing symptoms influence parental ratings of adolescent anxiety symptoms.. Journal of Family Psychology, 31(7), p. 939. This article focuses on Clinical examination of anxiety in adolescents most commonly involves a variety of sources, and parental masking has been found to influence adolescents' ratings of the incidental effects of anxiety. Krister aimed to examine how the side effects of parental masking were related to adolescents' and parents' reports of adolescent distress symptoms in a cross-sectional review based on the general population. Higher maternal anxiety and fear ratings, similar to caregiver stress ratings, but not paternal anxiety side effects, were associated with lower parental and adolescent adult admissions of adolescent pressure symptoms, for example, higher parental ratings near adolescent adult ratings.

Seligman, L. D., & Ollendick, T. H. (2011). Cognitive-behavioral therapy for anxiety

disorders in youth. Child and adolescent psychiatric clinics of North America, 20(2), 217

238. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chc.2011.01.003 . The article discusses the fact that anxiety

problems are the most common class of problems in children and adolescents and that a

significant number of individuals who develop an anxiety problem do so in late preadolescence

or early adulthood. Seligman attempts to legitimize why anxiety and worry can be adaptive and

developmentally appropriate; clinical levels of anxiety and pressure can cause tremendous

distress for adolescents and their families and likely impair academic and social functioning.
