Parent-Child Interaction Approaches to the Treatment of Child Behavior Problems

  • Chapter
Advances in Clinical Child Psychology

Part of the book series: Advances in Clinical Child Psychology ((ACCP,volume 20))

Abstract

Behavioral parent training, or parent management training (PMT), refers to procedures in which parents are trained to alter their child’s behavior at home (Kazdin, 1996). The recognition that parents can become effective agents of therapeutic change in their children has resulted in the development and empirical evaluation of numerous parent training programs. Today, PMT is considered the treatment of choice for child conduct problems (Azar & Wolfe, 1989; Kazdin, 1987) and is gaining popularity as a component in the treatment of child internalizing problems as well (Albano & Barlow, 1996; Brent et al., 1996; Kendall & Treadwell, 1996; Lewinsohn, Clark, Rohde, Hops, & Seeley, 1996; Stark, Swearer, Kurowski, Sommer, & Bowen, 1996).
