“…That is, the inclusion of PST did little to enhance treatment effects at follow-up. This is contrary to the findings of Griest et al (1982), who found extra benefits associated with a similar adjunctive treatment provided to non-maritally-discordant families. It is possible that a ceiling effect occurred in this study in that CMT, incorporating the planned activities component, was sufficient to produce durable change.…”

“…It is possible that a ceiling effect occurred in this study in that CMT, incorporating the planned activities component, was sufficient to produce durable change. Alternatively, the Griest et al (1982) training program could have been more relevant to nondiscordant families in that it was less directive and did not specifically focus on marital problems. This finding contradicts the speculations of some authors that marital problems are always associated with child behavior problems (e.g., Framo, 1975).…”

Research assessing the role of marital variables in the treatment of childhood conduct disorders is scarce. The aim of this study was (a) to assess the role of marital discord in the overall outcome of a program training parents in behavioral techniques (behavioral parent training) and (b) to assess the effects of an adjunctive treatment (partner support training [PST]) on outcome. The latter treatment focused on marital conflict, communication, and problem solving. Twenty-four families with a child diagnosed as oppositional or conduct disordered were assigned to either a marital-discord group ( n = 12) or a no-marital-discord group ( n = 12). Families within each group were then randomly assigned to either child management training (CMT) alone or CMT with PST. Measures of child deviance, parenting behavior, and marital satisfaction were collected at pre-and posttraining and at a 6-month follow-up. Results indicated a significant interaction between marital discord and treatment type on most measures at follow-up but not at posttraining. Although PST added little to the maintenance of change for the nondiscordant group, it produced significant gains over those who received CMT only for the discordant group. Further results highlighting the interaction of marital and treatment variables are discussed.

“…Given the identification of contextual and family factors that influence the success of PT/PE intervention, programs have expanded by incorporating strategies to explicitly target a number of these factors such as stress management and marital functioning (Costin et al, 2004;Griest et al, 1982;Kazdin and Whitley, 2003;Sanders et al, 2000). For example, The Incredible Years Program (Webster-Stratton, 1992) includes a parent component, which targets skills such as (1) personal self-control, (2) communication skills, (3) problem-solving skills, and (4) strengthening social support and self-care (Webster-Stratton and specifically for parents.…”

“…These are typically addressed through adjunctive interventions and have been discussed as a vehicle to enhance parent training (Forehand and Kotchick, 2002). For example, Griest et al (1982) developed Parent Enhancement Therapy as an adjunct to the Helping the Noncompliant Child parent training program that included components targeting marital conflict, symptoms of depression, communication skills, problem-solving skills, and shared pleasant activities by spouses. Likewise, Webster-Stratton and colleagues (e.g., Webster-Stratton and have incorporated a parent-focused component to their basic parenting intervention (The Incredible Years) used with children with conduct problems.…”

Empirical support exists for parent training/education (PT/PE) interventions for children with disruptive behavior disorders (DBD) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). While the models share common roots, current approaches have largely developed independently and the research findings have been disseminated in two different literature traditions: mental health and developmental disabilities. Given that these populations often have overlapping clinical needs and are likely to receive services in similar settings, efforts to integrate the knowledge gained in the disparate literature may be beneficial. This article provides a systematic overview of the current (1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005) empirical research on PT/PE for children with DBD and ASD; attending to factors for cross-fertilization. Twenty-two ASD and 38 DBD studies were coded for review. Literature was compared in three main areas: (1) research methodology, (2) focus of PT/PE intervention, and (3) PT/PE procedures. There was no overlap in publication outlets between the studies for the two populations. Results indicate that there are opportunities for cross-fertilization in the areas of (1) research methodology, (2) intervention targets, and (3) format of parenting interventions. The practical implications of integrating these two highly related areas of research are identified and discussed.

“…Few studies have addressed specific strategies for encouraging parents to adhere to recommendations (cf. Danforth, 1998;Fleischman, 1979;Globower & Sloop, 1976;Griest et al, 1982;Kelley et al, 1979), and there have been no programmatic efforts to explore treatment adherence in the same way that behavior analysts have investigated the issue of treatment effectiveness. By and large, investigators often assume that recommendations are implemented as prescribed.…”

The Problem of Parental Nonadherence in Clinical Behavior Analysis: Effective Treatment Is Not Enough

Applied behavior analysts have developed many effective interventions for common childhood problems and have repeatedly demonstrated that childhood behavior responds to properly managed contingencies. The success of these interventions is dependent upon their basic effectiveness, as demonstrated in the literature, their precise delivery by the clinician to the parent, and adherence to or consistent implementation of the intervention. Unfortunately, arranging the consistent implementation of effective parenting strategies is a significant challenge for behavior analysts who work in homes, schools, and outpatient or primary care clinics. Much has been done to address issues of adherence or implementation in the clinic, but relatively little has been done to increase our understanding of the contingencies that affect parental adherence beyond the supervised clinic environment. An analysis of the contingencies that strengthen or weaken adherence might suggest strategies to improve implementation outside the clinic setting. What follows is an analysis of the variables associated with adherence by parents to recommendations designed to solve common childhood problems.
