Despite the negative impact of anxiety in children, theories and research have lagged behind their adult counterparts. This special issue arose from an Economic and Social Research Council funded seminar series (Child Anxiety Theory and Treatment, CATTS). It highlights four themes in theories and research into child anxiety: the appropriateness of applying adult models to children, the need to isolate causal variables, the need to take a developmental perspective, and the importance of parents. This issue aims to stimulate debate about theoretical issues that will inform future child anxiety research.

The business of cognitive therapy is to transform meanings. What
better way to achieve this than through a metaphor? Metaphors
straddle two different domains at once, providing a conceptual
bridge from a problematic interpretation to a fresh new perspective
that can cast one's experiences in a new light. Even the simplest
metaphor can be used again and again with different clients, yet
still achieve the desired effect. One such example is the 'broken
leg' metaphor for depression. Clients with depression are
understandably frustrated with their symptoms. They may often push
themselves to get better or tell themselves that they should be
better by now. As a therapist, it is fair to ask, would the client
be so harsh and demanding on herself after getting a broken leg? A
broken leg needs time to heal and you need to begin to walk on it
gradually as it builds up in strength. "You can't run before you
can walk," and if you try, you are likely to make it worse. For
many clients this simple metaphor is enlightening, changing their
view of their symptoms as a sign of their own laziness and
worthlessness, to a view of them as part of an understandable
illness, that while open to improvement, cannot get better over
night.
