Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to examine the immediate and longer-term effectiveness of a group cognitive behavioral therapy intervention (GCBT) in reducing internalizing and externalizing symptoms in children treated for mixed psychiatric disorders in naturalistic clinical settings. Further, the effectiveness of GCBT is compared to a treatment-as-usual condition (TAU). Within this study, it is hypothesized that children with mixed psychiatric disorders will exhibit improvements in parent-rated internalizing problem behavior and parent- and teacher-rated externalizing problem behavior following GCBT.
