Cue-Centered Therapy (CCT)
In the News
Research
Clinicians at Stanford School of Medicine have been practicing Cue-Centered Therapy (CCT) since 2012. Since its inception, researchers have been conducting randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of CCT to measure its effectiveness. To date, two RCTs studying CCT have been completed. These studies demonstrate CCT effectiveness in reducing child and caregiver posttraumatic stress and in improving child functioning (Carrión et al., 2013; Espil et al., 2022). Researchers in the Early Life Stress and Resilience Lab in the Stanford School of Medicine have recently launched a third treatment trial of CCT to examine the efficacy of CCT on youth impacted by natural disasters and pandemic challenges.

In summer 2019, I was invited to teach at the Paul Baerwald School of Social Work and Social Welfare at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel. This was an exciting opportunity for me to get to teach in my native homeland.
