![]() These findings can contribute to future research as well as clinical practice with URMs. The implementation of a trauma narrative and the agenda provided by the manual were frequently reported as helpful.Ĭonclusion: The results of this study indicate that the manualized evidence-based treatment TF-CBT can be used in the culturally heterogeneous population of URMs with minor adaptations. Few obstacles in treatment were reported, and little cultural factors had to be considered. ![]() Results: In addition to the regular TF-CBT components, added content mostly concerned the so-called “crisis of the week”, meaning a more lengthy discussion of struggles and concerns in their daily lives. The categories were built inductively and analysed descriptively. Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT ) is widely regarded by both clinicians and researchers as a front-line intervention for the treatment of posttraumatic stress among children and adolescents 2, 3. The questions were on (1) additional techniques used in the sessions, (2) obstacles to TF-CBT treatment, (3) cultural factors considered and most helpful components for (4) patient and (5) therapist. Method: Written answers on five questions given by N = 9 therapists on N = 16 TF-CBT cases were analysed qualitatively using Mayring’s content analysis. This study aims to investigate adaptations undertaken during trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) in a pilot study with unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs). Although there is a vast evidence base on effective trauma-focused interventions for children and adolescents, there is only limited understanding of how to adapt these interventions for oftentimes severely traumatized young refugees. Background: Rates of trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are high among refugee youth.
