        The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of cognitive behavioral treatment based on Kendall's Coping Program on reduction of some co-occurrence symptoms among 8-10 years old children with anxiety. The study design was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest control group. The sample consisted of 20 children 8 to 10  year-old with diagnoses of generalized anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder and/or social anxiety disorder. The participants were selected using goal directed sampling and assigned randomly into two groups (cognitive behavioral treatment and waiting list group). The experimental group received 16 sessions of cognitive behavioral treatment based on Kendall's Coping Program. The data were gathered by the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL; Achenbach, 1991). The Mann-Whitney U and Friedman test were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that cognitive behavioral treatment based on Kendall's Coping Program reduced significantly some of the internalized and externalized symptoms in experimental group compared with the waiting list group. The results were maintained at 1/5 and 3 months follow up. The findings suggested that the cognitive behavioral treatment based on Kendall's Coping Program also reduced externalized symptoms of Iranian 8-10 year-old children in addition to reducing internalized symptoms.   Manuscript profile
