Objective: Treatment for persistent conduct problems in primary school children was developed using a modification of cognitive-behavioural therapy (MCBT). Its effectiveness was evaluated by comparing it with conjoint family therapy (FT) and eclectic therapy (ET). Method: Children with persistent conduct problems were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups. They were assessed prior to treatment and then 6 months after. Measures included symptoms of the child; parents' mental health; stress of parenting; family functioning; and parental relationship. In addition, parents' and children's perception of the therapy were assessed and a treatment record was developed to track the treatment process. Results: Thirty-two children were recruited for the study. No statistically significant differences were found in terms of effectiveness between the three groups. In terms of parents' perception of the therapy, there was no difference on the perception of the qualities of the therapists, but on the perception of therapy MCBT was considered to be higher in cognitive-behavioural orientation. Conclusion: Further research using a larger sample is required to evaluate MCBT. The study supports the idea that controlled treatment studies can be carried out within busy mental health services.

The Impact

In England schools are increasingly responsible for supporting children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties yet their voices are rarely represented. Through semi-structured interviews, the views of 11 children aged 6–11 years with SEMH difficulties were sought. Using thematic analysis two themes were identified – (1) social relationships and interactions, and (2) emotional and behavioural reactions. The children demonstrated that they were articulate and reflective about the impact their difficulties have in the learning environment. For some, they reported building and maintaining close reciprocal friendships which they felt enriched their time at school. It was concluded that children with SEMH difficulties need to feel safe and supported by adults to flourish in school. This work demonstrates the importance of taking a child-centred approach, allowing children to feel heard, understood and valued.

Anxiety Depression

Although are many previous studies reported the factors associated with anxiety, depression and behaviour problems, but few studies have focused on the association between mental health (anxiety and depression) and problem behaviours in children. The current study aimed to determine the association between anxiety, depression and behaviour problems among preadolescent school children (n = 386). Results found that 7.7% and 10.1% of participants reported abnormal levels of depression and anxiety and it is correlated significantly with the children's problematic behaviours. The findings of the study provide valuable insight into understanding the mental health and behaviours of preadolescence primary school children in Malaysia.eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019. The Authors.
