Describes interim results of a study examining the effectiveness of parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) with families of preschool-age children with oppositional defiant disorder. Following an initial assessment, 64 clinic-referred families were randomly assigned to an immediate treatment (i.t.) or a wait-list control (WL) condition. Results indicated that parents in the IT condition interacted more positively with their child and were more successful in gaining their child's compliance than parents in the WL condition. In addition, parents who received treatment reported decreased parenting stress and a more internal locus of control. Parents in the IT group reported statistically and clinically significant improvements in their child's behavior following PCIT. All families who received treatment reported high levels of satisfaction with both the content and process of PCIT. Preliminary 4-month follow-up data showed that parents maintained gains on all self-report measures.
描述了一项研究的中期结果,该研究考察了亲子互动疗法(PCIT)对患有对立违抗性障碍的学龄前儿童家庭的有效性。在初始评估后,64个转介至诊所的家庭被随机分配到立即治疗(i.t.)组或等待名单控制(WL)组。结果表明,与WL组的父母相比,IT组的父母与孩子的互动更积极,在让孩子服从方面也更成功。此外,接受治疗的父母报告育儿压力降低,内控点更强。IT组的父母报告称,PCIT后孩子的行为在统计学和临床上都有显著改善。所有接受治疗的家庭都对PCIT的内容和过程表示高度满意。初步的4个月随访数据显示,父母在所有自我报告指标上都保持了改善。
