Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Screening 'gold standard' self\-report inventories include: Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC; March, 1998\) and Children?s Depression Inventory (CDI; Kovacs, 1983\). Children 5 \- 11 years old, either sex, with t\-score elevations \>60 on either the total score or at least 4 subscales of either instrument will be considered eligible for study.

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Already meet criteria for disorder on the ADIS
  • 2\. Are unable to complete the inventories due to intellectual impairment or weak English skills (limiting the benefits of cognitive behavioral therapy)
  • 3\. Are already engaged in ongoing psychiatric or psychological treatment that could confound study intervention effects
  • 4\. Elevated 'externalising' scores on the CBCL (t\-score greater than 60\), as these children may be difficult to manage in CBT groups, and may obtain more benefit from other interventions
