Q
Are cognitive and behavioral models of specific anxiety disorders different in children? How?
For example, in adult OCD, the cognitive model emphasizes metacognitive threat interpretations of normal intrusive thoughts and disfunctional beliefs (thought-action fusion, intolerance of uncertainty, thought control, etc.) as key factors in OCD. However, given cognitive developmental differences in children, how does OCD operate in youth? Are metacognition and OCD beliefs still relevant for understanding childhood OCD or does it operate under different mechanisms?
