Not yet.  We're trying DBT now.  We are considering therapeutic programs but we're wary of the therapeutic camp/school-industrial complex.  [/quote]

CBT depends very heavily on monitoring your own thoughts and how you relate to them. It’s hard for a lot of adults and likely very hard for most kids who are being sent to therapists by their parents and don’t necessarily see themselves as having a problem to fix. If the kid has a phobia or OCD, then CBT is likely to work better because those conditions are very cognitively based and because it is more likely the child will identify them as a problem they want to change.

I have less experience with DBT but it’s more skills-based, so I can see that working better. [/quote]

Actually, the gold standard for OCD is exposure and response prevention (which is a type of CBT but not the same as general CBT).[/quote]
