This article reviews the four major components of truama-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for children and adolescents: exposure, cognitive processing and reframing, stress management, and parental treatment. For each component, background, description, and current empirical support for including each of these componets in the treatment of trumatised children is presented. Although there is growing empirical support for the efficacy of trauma-focused CBT is decreasing psychological symtomatology, there are inadequate data to indicate the relative contribution of the individual CBT components. Suggestions for the future clinical and research directions are also discussed.
