This is the author's version of a work that was accepted for publication in <Journal title>. A definitive version was subsequently published in Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, [VOL 50, ISSUE 3, (2011) Method: Families of 74 anxious children (aged 9 years or below) took part in a randomised controlled trial, which compared the new 10-session, group-format intervention with a wait-list control condition. Outcome measures included blinded diagnostic interview, and self-reports from parents and children..Results: Intention to treat analyses indicated that children whose parent(s) received the intervention were significantly less anxious at the end of the study than those in the control condition. Specifically, 57% of those receiving the new intervention were free of their primary disorder, compared to 15% in the control condition. Moreover, 32% of treated children were free of any anxiety diagnosis at the end of the treatment period, compared to 6% of those in the control group. Treatment gains were maintained at 12-month follow-up.Conclusions: This new parenting-based intervention may represent an advance in the treatment of this previously neglected group.

Developing a model of mental health self-care support for children and young people through an integrated evaluation of available types of provision involving systematic review, meta-analysis and case study

“…51,107,133 There were no studies on psychosis. Most (31/71) of the studies concerned interventions that could be classified as treatments (see Chapter 1, Intervention levels), [48][49][50][51][52]55,65,66,70,71,74,77,78,81,[83][84][85][86]91,[94][95][96][97][98][101][102][103][104]106,111,112,[121][122][123][124][125][126][127][129][130][131]133,135,139 with the remainder focusing equally on indicated (n = 11), 53,58,59,…”

Prácticas de crianza predictoras de problemas moderados de conducta en niños

“…Estudios previos han indicado que con niños con problemas moderados de conducta, tales componentes pueden asegurar la reducción de la conducta oposicionista desafiante y agresiva, la inatención y la hiperactividad Morales & Vázquez, 2014). Con base en las prácticas que no predijeron, pero sí se asociaron, se entiende que en el entrenamiento a padres, los profesionales de la salud pueden abordar, en segundo término, componentes como la interacción social positiva y el involucramiento (Cartwright-Hatton et al, 2011;Cornell & Frick, 2007).…”

“…El entrenamiento a padres para incrementar la interacción positiva (Cartwright-Hatton et al, 2011;Cornell & Frick, 2007), el uso de estrategias para implementar la obediencia (Forehand, Jones, & Parent, 2013), las habilidades sociales (Haas et al, 2010), la solución de problemas (McMahon, 2015;Morales & Vázquez, 2014;Morales et al, 2016) y el establecimiento de reglas (Morales & Vázquez, 2014;Morales et al, 2016) han promovido la reducción de la conducta oposicionista desafiante, la agresión, la hiperactividad y la inatención.…”

Crianza positiva y negativa asociada a los problemas severos de conducta infantil

“…Por ejemplo, el uso de reforzamiento positivo parece promover con alta efectividad conducta pro-social en niños con problemas de conducta severos (Hawes & Dadds, 2005 No obstante, el entrenamiento a padres que no contempla el uso de la restricción física (Stellwagen & Kerig, 2010) y que hace énfasis en el reforzamiento positivo (Caldwell, Skeem, Salekin, & VanRybroek, 2006), la interacción social positiva (Cartwright-Hatton et al, 2011), el modelamiento de habilidades sociales y de solución de problemas en los padres (Haas et al, 2011;Morales & Vázquez, 2014) si predice la reducción en los problemas moderados y severos de conducta infantil. El entrenamiento a padres se ha enfocado en reducir la disciplina rígida, inconsistente y coercitiva (Yeh et al, 2011), los estilos de apego desorganizados (Pasalich et al, 2012) y en aumentar la interacción social positiva para reducir los problemas severos de conducta (Kroneman et al, 2011), promoviendo una internalización de normas y conducta pro-social en estos niños (Cornell & Frick, 2007).…”
