Family‐focused cognitive behavioral treatment for depressed adolescents in suicidal crisis with co‐occurring risk factors: a randomized trial

Abstract

Though F-CBT was associated with reductions in suicidality, depression, and nonsuicidal self-injury, E-TAU showed an equally strong effect. Greater frequency of F-CBT treatment sessions, particularly at the start of care, and alternative approaches to transitioning to care at 12 months, may be necessary when using F-CBT with this population.
