Which of the following best describes the target population for trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy?

Adults with anxiety disorders
Children who have experienced sexual abuse
Seniors facing depression
Teenagers with behavioral issues

The correct answer is: Children who have experienced sexual abuse

The target population for trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) specifically includes children and adolescents who have experienced trauma, particularly those who have faced situations such as sexual abuse. This therapeutic approach is designed to address the unique needs of younger individuals who often process trauma differently than adults. It incorporates elements that help children and their caregivers to understand the impact of trauma and develop coping strategies. In contrast, while the other options mention groups that may experience mental health issues, they do not align with the primary focus of TF-CBT. Adults with anxiety disorders may benefit from other forms of therapy tailored to adult experiences, seniors facing depression could require different therapeutic interventions suited for late-life challenges, and teenagers with behavioral issues might not specifically relate their challenges to trauma unless such experiences have been identified. TF-CBT is distinctly aimed at helping youth recover from traumatic events, making it the best fit for the scenario presented.
