  • Summary

    Parental anxiety and anxiety disorders (ADs) are increasingly recognized as a risk factor in the development of childhood disorders. In this chapter, we first examine the impact parental anxiety and ADs have on youth outcomes, with a focus on the inter-generational transmission of ADs through mechanisms such as parental control and negativity. Next, we explore the role these negative parenting behaviours play in the treatment of specific childhood disorders. Family cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for ADs and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is reviewed in its current forms to highlight innovations and barriers in family-based interventions broadly and treatment of parental anxiety and ADs specifically. Lastly, we provide research and clinical recommendations to promote more effective treatment of childhood disorders in the context of complex family systems.
