Abstract

This chapter provides a brief historical and theoretical introduction to the Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents (UP-C and UP-A), followed by practical guidance for using this volume to treat children and adolescents. The chapter situates transdiagnostic treatments within the historical development of evidence-based interventions for children and adolescents and distinguishes core-dysfunction–focused transdiagnostic treatments, such as the UP-C and UP-A, from other types of transdiagnostic treatments. The chapter reviews key core dysfunctions underlying emotional disorders that are addressed through treatment with the UP-C and UP-A. The authors discuss the rationale for this volume, which focuses on applications of the UP-C and UP-A to youth with diagnoses other than anxiety and depression and youth being treated in delivery settings outside of the standard weekly therapy format. Tips for using this volume in conjunction with the UP-C and UP-A therapist guide and workbooks are offered.
