Although Lang et al. (2010) appeared to successfully develop a tool that may be used by clinicians to inform appropriate treatment approaches when working with children who suffer from trauma, several limitations to their literature surfaced. For instance, the lack of studies and research to review or analyze before developing the algorithm, the variability from patient to patient might make a set procedure difficult for clinicians to implement or rely on, and the need to accurately recognize moderators of outcomes in TF-CBT may prove to be limitations to the authors’ work. However, by expanding research and continuing to conduct and compare outcomes studies, this preliminary algorithm can be enhanced or modified to eventually provide clinicians
