These affects parental efficacy and parent-child relationship which are important variables for optimal parenting (Hastig and Brow, 2002).AimThe aim of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of parent management training to increase child-parent relationship and parental self-efficacy of mothers with autistic children.Methods30 mothers of children with autism (17 in experimental group and 13 in control group) were included. The experimental group participate in parent management training sessions includes behaviour modification techniques for 6 weeks. The scales of this research were Parenting Self-Agency Measure (Dumka, Storerzinge, Jackson and Koosa, 1996) and Parent _Child Relationship test (Pianta, 1994). t test were used to compare the meanings of pre-tests and post-tests.ResultsThe results indicate that there was significant differences between parenting self-efficacy (p < ./05) and parent-child relationship (p < ./001) scores. The experimental group's parental self-efficacy and positive parent-child relationship were significantly higher than control group and parent management trainings increase those important variables in mothers of children with autism.ConclusionParent management training programmes can enhance parental self-efficacy and parent-child relationship and prevent many problems in families with autistic children.

AbstractThis paper reports on a randomized control trial involving children less than 3 years old and their mothers who were regarded at risk of maltreating their children by referral agencies. Mothers’ risk status derived from a heavy trauma burden (average exposure over the first 18 years of their lives to 10 possible adverse childhood experiences [ACEs] was >5), mental health challenges (15%–28% had experienced a prior psychiatric hospitalization), and prior removal of a child to foster care (20%). Mothers were randomly assigned to either a widely used parenting class known as Systematic Training for Effective Parenting (STEP) or the Group Attachment-Based Intervention (GABI), a multifamily 26-week treatment. The resulting mother–child pairs available for consideration in this baseline versus end-of-treatment report were 35 families in the STEP arm and 43 families in the GABI arm. The focus of this paper is the outcome measure of observed parent–child relationship assessed with the Coding of Interactive Behavior (Feldman, 1998) collected at baseline and end of treatment. In comparison to STEP, results indicated that GABI was linked to significant improvements in maternal supportive presence and dyadic reciprocity, and significant declines in maternal hostility and dyadic constriction (proxies for risk of child maltreatment). These medium-to large-sized effects remained significant even after controlling for mothers’ prior ACEs in analysis of covariance procedures. In addition, two small interaction effects of ACEs by treatment type were found, underlining the need for, and value of, treatments that are sensitive to parents’ traumatic histories.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is one of the most commonly diagnosed disorders that has recently been increasingly considered by psychologists and researchers. Due to its nature, this disorder also affects on mental health of parents, in addition to the child's health. Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of group interventions based on parent-child relationship on promoting the mental health of parents of children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, aged 6-11 years. Methodology: In a quasi-experimental study using pre-test and post-test design with three experimental groups of pharmacotherapy, combined (pharmacotherapy and family-oriented intervention) and family-oriented, mothers of 30 children with ADHD disorder were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method; these subjects were randomly selected from the educational districts of Tehran. The combined and family-oriented groups were trained in a parent-child relationship group for 10 sessions and the drug therapy group received only medication. All subjects were evaluated by Mental Health Scale in two stages (before intervention and after intervention). Data was analyzed using covariance analysis. Findings: The results showed that the implementation of educational program based on parent-child relationship resulted in a significant increase in the mental health of parents of children with hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder in the combined and family-oriented groups. Conclusion: Interventions based on parent-child relationship with pharmacotherapy (combined method) are effective in increasing the mental health of parents of children with hyperactivity disorder and attention deficit disability; therefore it is suggested that therapists use this method to help this group.

It appears that there are two kinds of significant variables pertinent to a positive response to amphetamines: (1) organic factors, which appear primary, and (2) emotional factors, which, if present, counteract or interfere with the drugs' action. In general, those children responded positively to the drug who showed an organic background, positive parent-child relationship, and the absence of severe psychiatric problems in the parents. Seventy-five percent of the O and OE children with parents who were not grossly deviant improved while none became worse. As with all retrospective studies the absence of a control group prevents examination of such factors as "placebo effect" or the effect of other services received at the Center or in school. However, since positive responses were usually immediate and were maintained over extended periods of time, often after other forms of treatment were unsuccessful, it is felt that these other variables were not significant contaminants.

41 socially anxious students who sought psychotherapeutic help at the Counselling and Psychotherapy Center of Hamburg University were treated with dramatherapy In groups. Averaging a twelve-year problem duration of social anxiety, the dramatherapeutic subjects do not differ from the average non-therapy seeking student when compared in general social and family background or in intellectual capability. There are indications for a special helper-helpee relationship between parent and child as prerequisite for the development of social anxiety. After four single therapy sessions, the treatment consisted of 16—three hour group sessions once a week, one of these being a three-day “intensive session” in the seclusion of a country meeting place. A therapy group consisted of eight clients (four female, four male) and one female, one male psychotherapist. In comparing changes of an experimental group (n = 21) after dramatherapy with those of a control group (n = 20) who had been waiting for psychotherapy, drama games and exercises in combination with the work on a specially designed interaction hierarchy proved responsible for significant improvements of the experimental group on cognitive, emotional and behavioural levels. These effects having steadily developed during the process of the group therapy appear to be stable up to seven months after group therapy when follow up interviews were conducted. The therapy procedure Is illustrated, exemplary results are discussed.

This research uses non randomized pretest-posttest control group design. The subjects of the study were 10 immigrants of 30-40-year-old female refugees, divided into experimental and control groups. Non-parametric statistical analysis Mann-Whitney U showed no difference in depressive symptoms score between refugee immigrants experimental group and control group, p = 0,009 (p &lt;0,05). Qualitative analysis shows there is a change of emotional expression on immigrant refugees in the experimental group. The results of this study are important as a study to understand the dynamics of urban clinical psychological problems, particularly those associated with refugee immigrants
