Synopsis

This thought-provoking book assesses the lasting effects of a behavioral family therapy treatment in preschool children exhibiting disruptive behavior disorders. The author's longitudinal study examines children with ODD, ADHD, and Conduct Disorder who participated in PCIT. The treatment, which incorporates both traditional and behavioral methods, yielded encouraging results. The author found that the children who received PCIT showed lasting improvements in their behavior, with statistically significant decreases in deviant school behaviors such as noncompliance and oppositional behavior. Additionally, these improvements were maintained or further enhanced at 12- and 18-month follow-ups. This book adds to the growing body of research on the effectiveness of PCIT and provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of treating disruptive behavior disorders in young children.
