One-session treatment is as effective as multi-session therapy for young people with phobias
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that can help children and young people overcome fears (phobias). It is routinely delivered over multiple sessions. A new study showed that one-session treatment is as effective as multi-session CBT, and is cheaper.
