The research by Barrett and colleagues (1996) found that 95 percent of children with GAD no longer met the criteria for the diagnosis after using a treatment that combined cognitive-behavioural procedures with family therapy. Therefore, the best choice is A), as it accurately reflects the type of treatment used in the study. Benzodiazepines were not used in combination with family therapy or play therapy in this study, making B) and C) incorrect. Additionally, D) is not the best choice because it implies that the treatment only included benzodiazepines and cognitive-behavioural procedures, which is not accurate based on the information provided.
