The article by Lock et al. 1 in this month's issue of the Journal highlights 3 features that are of interest to child and adolescent psychiatrists. First, it provides further evidence for an effective therapy for an extremely debilitating condition, with additional means for improving prognosis. Second, it underscores how families can be helpful in supporting therapy for their children, thus avoiding unnecessary scapegoating of parents. Finally, it is a fine example of a clinical trial performed in accordance with all the principles of modern methodology.
