This report examines the relationship between treatment response in children with ASD and parents' affective symptomatology. This study examined 29 children with ASD in a manualized group psychotherapy program, Resilience Builder Program (RBP), where emotional and social functioning of parent and child were measured through pre- and post-treatment questionnaires. Greater parental symptomatology was associated with children's reduced response to RBP in resilience-based emotion regulation skills. Greater parental interpersonal sensitivity (β = - .27, p = .024) predicted worse post-treatment scores in child communication skills, greater parental anxious symptoms (β = - .45, p = .005) predicted worse post-treatment scores in child emotional control, and greater parental depressive (β = .27, p = .041) and anxious symptoms (β = .36, p = .004) predicted worse post-treatment scores in child internalizing problems.
本报告探讨了 ASD 儿童治疗反应与父母情感症状之间的关系。本研究在一项规范化的团体心理治疗计划——韧性建设者计划（RBP）中，对 29 名 ASD 儿童进行了研究，通过治疗前后的问卷来衡量父母和孩子的情绪和社会功能。父母的症状越严重，孩子对 RBP 的情绪调节技能的反应就越低。父母的人际敏感性越高（β=-0.27，p=0.024），则孩子在沟通技能方面的治疗后评分越低；父母的焦虑症状越严重（β=-0.45，p=0.005），则孩子在情绪控制方面的治疗后评分越低；父母的抑郁症状越严重（β=0.27，p=0.041）和焦虑症状（β=0.36，p=0.004）越严重，则孩子的内化问题方面的治疗后评分越低。
