Abstract

Chapter 10 introduces the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children (UP-C). This is also called the “Emotion Detectives” program, which reflects the guiding treatment metaphor: teaching children to “solve the mystery of their emotions,” as detectives might. The UP-C is intended to reduce the intensity and frequency of symptoms common to youth with emotional disorders by using core evidence-based treatment strategies in a broad manner that applies to a wide range of aversive emotional experiences characteristic of youth emotional disorders (i.e., anxiety, depression, other internalizing disorders). Many anxiety, depression, adjustment, traumatic stress-related, or obsessive-compulsive or related disorders would be appropriate targets for this intervention. The UP-C is intended for children between the ages of 7 and 13, although children slightly above or below this age group may benefit from this format.
