“…However, these individualized programs are costly, time consuming, and inefficient and therefore are incapable of meeting the increasing demands. In a recent review Mclntyre et al (1983) noted that none of the 43 studies of therapy for conduct-disordered children had considered an analysis of costeffectiveness. There is a clear need to enhance the cost efficiency of parent training programs if they are to be more widely available.…”

Clinic mothers of 35 conduct-disordered children were randomly assigned to a waiting list control group, 9 weeks of individual therapy, or 9 weeks of therapistled group therapy based on a standardized videotape modeling program. Mothers and their children were assessed at baseline, immediately after treatment, and 1 year later by home visits, twice-per-week telephone reports, and questionnaires. One month after treatment, both groups of treated mothers showed significant attitudinal and behavioral improvements compared with untreated controls. Additionally, the children in the two treatment groups showed reductions in child noncompliance compared with control children. At the 1-year follow-up, not only were most of the changes in mothers' behaviors maintained, but both treatment groups of children continued to show significant reductions in noncompliant and deviant behaviors. There were no significant differences on any of the attitudinal or behavioral measures between individual and videotape modeling group discussion therapies at the immediate or 1-year follow-up. Total therapist time was approximately 251 hr for the entire individual group and 48 hr for the entire videotape discussion group. Although both treatments seem to offer equivalent and sustained improvements for parents and conduct-disordered children, the therapeutic efficiency of the videotape modeling group format is more cost-effective. In response to the large numbers of children with conduct disorders and the shortage of professional personnel, there has been an increasing emphasis on training parents as therapists for their own children. Several excellent reviews (

THIS paper provides a selective overview of behavioral approaches for conduct-disordered behavior. Although no definitive statement can be made regarding etiology, some empirical support exists for behavioral strategies. Assessment approaches discussed include the behavioral interview, behavioral observations, and behavioral checklists. Decisions regarding types of behavioral interventions to be employed directly follow from assessment data. Assessment information can be formulated in terms of a behavioral excess/skill deficit model. Hence, conduct-disordered behavior can be a function of excessive disruptive behavior and/or a lack of requisite skills necessary to obtain satisfaction. Parental training strategies in contingency management and contingency contracting are discussed regarding behavioral excesses. Relative to skill deficits, contingency procedures along with skills training in communication, problem-solving and self-control are reviewed, using parental training and cognitive-behavioral frameworks. In general, these interventions have empirically demonstrated efficacy. However, future research is required to identify specific factors that account for successful treatment, and attention should be directed toward preventive issues. Important data could be obtained from the identification of high-risk environmental situations. A predictive understanding of high-risk populations could result in the development of early intervention programs, which might to some extent obviate the occurrence of conduct disorders.
