Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Age 13-17 at inclusion date.

- on-going abuse or severe parental psychiatric illness in the family.
- since treatment format assumes normal reading and writing skills, pronounced language skill deficits and learning difficulties lead to exclusion from the study.
- lack of regular internet-access.
