Childhood pathologies are not irremediably fixed: their evolution is uncertain and their diagnosis is often delicate. It is necessary to proceed with caution and avoid considering the child's disorder with the adult clinic. This work addresses the specificities of CBT management in children and adolescents, in particular the importance of taking into account the cognitive limits imposed by the age of the young person. These adjustments are necessary to modify the inseparable whole of pathological behavior: cognition, emotion and action. After a presentation of the theoretical models and behavioral, cognitive and emotional therapeutic techniques available to the clinician, the disorders of children and adolescents are detailed: social phobia, panic disorder, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, separation anxiety, school phobia, OCD, attention deficit disorder, depression, bedwetting, cannabis or internet addiction, etc.
