This book was released on 2007 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite prior research indicating Parent Training (PT) is an efficacious treatment for children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD), few conclusions can be made about the efficacy given the inconsistent manner in which PT programs have been implemented. Also remaining unclear is whether reported clinical improvements are due to altered parenting styles or other factors targeted by PT programs. In response to this situation, the current study conducted a therapeutic component analysis to determine whether a complete PT program, which included contingency management and AD/HD counseling (Anastopoulos & Barkley, 1990), was superior to a didactic-attention control (D-AC) group, which only taught AD/HD counseling. A total of 126 clinic-referred children with ADHD, between 6 and 11 years of age, and their parent(s) participated. Although increases in knowledge of AD/HD and contingency management were reported as predicted, differences in treatment effectiveness across the two groups did not emerge as anticipated; both groups experienced improvements related to child, parent, and family functioning. However, treatment-related group differences were evident with respect to child emotional functioning suggesting PT was superior to the D-AC group. These findings were examined in terms of their clinical significance using methodology by Jacobson and Truax (1991). Findings indicate that treatment aimed at increasing knowledge of AD/HD, which is rarely integrated into behavioral treatments, may enhance existing treatments.

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a chronic disorder, and its symptoms are often treated with stimulant medication or behavioral intervention. Research has shown that parents of children with chronic conditions may experience increased stress or decreased self-efficacy related to the parenting role, making them less likely to be effective in managing their child’s behavior problems. Behavioral parent training interventions for ADHD, while focusing primarily on improving child behaviors, have demonstrated positive treatment outcomes both for children and parents. The current study examined parenting stress and self-efficacy outcomes following participation in a behavioral parent training approach for ADHD. Participants consisted of 43 primary caregivers of children ages seven to twelve who were referred to an outpatient hospital setting for behavioral intervention to address ADHD-related behavioral concerns. Participants completed the Parenting Stress Index, Self-Efficacy for Parenting Tasks Index, and the Behavior Assessment System for Children – Second Edition at two time points: prior to beginning a 10-week behavioral parent training program and upon completion of the intervention. The intervention employed BPT procedures specific to improving ADHD-related behavior management skills. Parent sessions focused on two main content areas: increasing awareness and knowledge of ADHD and developing effective behavioral skills for managing their child’s ADHD-related problems. This study employed a quasi-experimental design that examined changes in parenting after participation in their child’s behavior therapy. A single group, within- subjects model was applied to evaluate parents’ pre-post treatment effects. Further examination was conducted to determine if changes in parenting outcomes were related to children’s treatment response. A descriptive study was first conducted to gain a better understanding of families who participated in BPT. Primary analyses were conducted using General Linear Modeling (GLM) techniques. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was used to examine changes in parents’ ratings of parenting stress and parenting self-efficacy from baseline to post-treatment. The independent variable was time, and dependent variables included parenting stress (PST) and parenting self-efficacy (PSE). Secondary analyses utilized paired-samples t-tests to explore PSE differences across the domains of Nurturance and Discipline. Ratings at baseline and post-treatment were compared to determine whether participation in BPT was associated with greater balance across these two self-efficacy domains. Finally, independent-samples t-tests were conducted in order to examine differences in parenting outcomes based on different child treatment responses (higher or lower responses). Results of primary analysis demonstrated a significant interaction between PST and PSE over time. When these dependent variables were considered separately, main effects suggested statistically significant changes from baseline to post-treatment for both PST and PSE. When considering parent outcomes based upon gender, notable differences emerged between mothers’ and fathers’ post-treatment ratings of PST and PSE. Mothers evidenced significant differences across the PSE domains of nurturance and discipline, first at baseline and again at post-treatment. However, mothers reported statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements across both domains in response to BPT. No significant differences were observed between nurturance and discipline for fathers and change in PST and PSE was also unremarkable in response to BPT. With regard to parent outcomes based upon child treatment response, parents of children whose ADHD symptoms were reduced to become within the normal range at post- treatment reported significantly lower stress and higher self efficacy than those of children with continued impairments. These results demonstrated distinct benefits for parents who participated in BPT for their children with ADHD. In general, parents reported greater improvements in PSE compared to PST. These changes varied by parent gender, with statistically significant and clinically meaningful differences for mothers, but not for fathers. Finally, parents of children whose ADHD symptoms were reduced below a level of impairment showed the best outcomes regarding PST and PSE. Clinical implications for these results include possible changes to the duration of BPT and treatment objectives endeavored. Extending treatments to provide more time for symptom amelioration is recommended. Including treatment modules specifically providing strategies for stress management may result in even greater reductions in parents’ stress as well as better child outcomes from better parent implementation of behavioral methods. Additionally, these findings support flexibility regarding the duration of treatment in order to achieve ADHD symptom reduction to a level that is within normal limits, and thereby achieving greater BPT outcomes for both children and parents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavioral parent training (BPT) is an evidence-based treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Not all families, however, derive equal benefits from BPT. In particular, single-mother households are more likely to drop out of treatment early, fail to show improvement following treatment, and fail to maintain treatment gains. There are a number of factors related to poor progress and outcomes for single mother families who participate in BPT, including high levels of depression, stress, maladaptive cognitions, and practical barriers to participation as well as low levels of social support. The present study randomly assigned single-mothers of children with ADHD to a wait-list control group, a traditional BPT program, or an enhanced BPT program that addressed the putative factors that impact single-mother families during and after participation in BPT. Results indicated both parent training approaches were effective in reducing problematic child behavior, some areas of psychosocial impairment, parenting behavior, and some areas of parental adjustment relative to the wait-list control group. The enhanced BPT program also provided significant benefits in these areas relative to the traditional BPT group. Moreover, the enhanced BPT program resulted in increased single-mother and child attendance and completion, homework compliance, and satisfaction with the program. Moreover, the data suggested that BPT resulted in maintenance of gains at 3-month follow-up. Despite these findings, results also indicated that BPT does not normalize functioning for most children. These results are discussed in light of the current literature on effective treatments for single-mothers of children with ADHD. Future directions for empirical investigation for high-risk families are discussed.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Background The efficacy of parent-child training (PCT) regarding child symptoms may be reduced if the mother has attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The AIMAC study (ADHD in Mothers and Children) aimed to compensate for the deteriorating effect of parental psychopathology by treating the mother (Step 1) before the beginning of PCT (Step 2). This secondary analysis was particularly concerned with the additional effect of the Step 2 PCT on child symptoms after the Step 1 treatment. Methods The analysis included 143 mothers and children (aged 6-12 years) both diagnosed with ADHD. The study design was a two-stage, two-arm parallel group trial (Step 1 treatment group [TG]: intensive treatment of the mother including psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy; Step 1 control group [CG]: supportive counseling only for mother; Step 2 TG and CG: PCT). Single- and multi-group analyses with piecewise linear latent growth curve models were applied to test for the effects of group and phase. Child symptoms (e.g., ADHD symptoms, disruptive behavior) were rated by three informants (blinded clinician, mother, teacher). Results Children in the TG showed a stronger improvement of their disruptive behavior as rated by mothers than those in the CG during Step 1 (Step 1: TG vs. CG). In the CG, according to reports of the blinded clinician and the mother, the reduction of children's disruptive behavior was stronger during Step 2 than during Step 1 (CG: Step 1 vs. Step 2). In the TG, improvement of child outcome did not differ across treatment steps (TG: Step 1 vs. Step 2). Conclusions Intensive treatment of the mother including pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy may have small positive effects on the child's disruptive behavior. PCT may be a valid treatment option for children with ADHD regarding disruptive behavior, even if mothers are not intensively treated beforehand
