Abstract:Resistance is the phenomena that occurs in the therapeutic relationship when the patient refuses to complete tasks assigned by the therapist which would benefit the patient in improving their psychological situation. Resistance is also used to describe situations in the consulting relationship where the consultee does not do what the consultant suggests. Often resistance leads to poor treatment integrity and/or staff burn out. As a result, this resistance is a factor that warrants a behavioral interpretation a… Show more
“…The notion of resistance today is no longer exclusive to psychoanalytic work. It is discussed in various terminologies in many of the psychotherapeutic approaches mentioned above, including the behavioral approach (Cautilli et al, 2005).…”

“…Treatment plans are developed with the expectation that they will be implemented as intended and not modified by the change agent (treatment integrity). Many failures in school-based consultation can be attributed to consultee resistance and absent or weak treatment integrity, despite an intervention's demonstrated empirical support (Cautilli, Riley-Tillman, Axelrod, & Hineline, 2005;Gresham, 1989). A noteworthy feature of this case study is the inclusion of a structured treatment monitoring interview (CTMI) designed to promote a collaborative consultant-consultee relationship, increase consultees' problem-solving efforts and shared ownership of the treatment plan, and improve their self-efficacy.…”
Conjoint Behavioral Consultation (CBC) is discussed as an emerging and effective model of home-school collaboration and shared problem solving. A case study is presented to demonstrate how practitioners can use CBC to deliver high quality consultation and intervention services to students, teachers, and parents in a real world setting. An evidence-based intervention (EBI) was implemented in the context of CBC to enhance the on-task and compliant behavior of a student referred for consultation. Results indicated a significant increase in teacher ratings of behavioral control (on-task and compliant behavior) following consultation. Positive treatment effects were maintained at a 4-week follow-up. Norm referenced measures produced statistically reliable and clinically meaningful changes in teacher perception of externalizing problem behavior. Consultees validated CBC as an acceptable and effective model of service delivery across home and school contexts. Limitations, future research, and implications for evidence-based practice are discussed.
“…Resistance is often defined as client behavior that is in opposition to either the therapist or to the treatment goals set by the therapist or the treatment protocol (Bischoff & Tracey, 1995). Behavioral models of resistance, such as the OSLC model (see Cautilli, Riley-Tillman, Alexrod, & Hineline, 2005, for a review) also emphasize the contributions of therapist behaviors and therapist-parent interactions to the frequency and resolution of client resistance.…”
Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is relatively common among 3-8 year-old children and its presence puts children at risk for more serious and stable behavior problems. Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) as the most empirical support as a treatment for children with ODD as well as for children with clinically significant conduct problems. The purpose of this paper is to review research on modifications to the BPT treatment model that have improved its efficacy as well as its use by a wider range of families.
