Family-focused cognitive behaviour therapy <i>versus</i> psycho-education for chronic fatigue syndrome in 11- to 18-year-olds: a randomized controlled treatment trial

Abstract

Adolescents with CFS get back to school more quickly after family-focused CBT. This is important as they are at a crucial stage of their development. However, the finding that psycho-education was as effective as family-focused CBT at 6 and 12 months follow-up has important implications for health service delivery.
