Spesso nei servizi di neuropsichiatria infantile è necessario creare liste d’attesa per la presa incarico dei piccoli pazienti in psicoterapia individuale. Le risorse, infatti, non sono sempre pari al bisogno. Emerge la necessità di appoggiarsi a terapie efficaci in tempi brevi, in setting di gruppo. Tra i modelli presenti in letteratura abbiamo scelto il "Cool Kids Program" di Ronald Rapee, un trattamento evidence based la cui efficacia è basata su ricerche effettuate nell’arco di un decennio nelle seguenti strutture australiane: Macquarie University; Royal North Hosiptal e Queensland University. Si tratta di un trattamento che prevede sia una componente comportamentale (psico-educazione dell’ansia ed esposizioni) sia una componente cognitiva (critica e ristrutturazione dei pensieri). Il programma prevede un alto coinvolgimento dei genitori nel trattamento, come evidenziato da Barret et al. (1996); Mendlowitz et al. (1999); Cobham et al. (1998), i programmi cognitivo-comportamentali mirati ai bambini e con una parte del trattamento che coinvolge i genitori portano a risultati più significativi alla fine del programma e nel follow-up a tre e sei mesi. Il "Cool Kids Program" è un trattamento manualizzato, ossia comprende i manuali con i materiali specifici da usare in terapia per tutti gli attori dell’intervento (psicoterapeuta, bambino, genitori). Nel presente lavoro si descrive il protocollo di trattamento "Cool Kids", il modello teorico di riferimento, la struttura dell’intervento e le metodologie di applicazioni, realizzate dagli Autori in centro pubblico e presso studi privati.;
