“…The majority of research about child and adolescent treatment programs relates to the progress of the child, with parents rarely selected as sources of data collection. Studies that include parent data speak to a “dearth of literature in which the experiences of parents of youth who access intensive mental health treatment have been reported (Preyde et al, 2015)” and as “unchartered waters” in the research field (Harden, 2005). There is an important contribution to the literature on family involvement in inpatient treatment of psychosis by Stanbridge and Burbach for over a decade in the United Kingdom (i.e.…”

This article explores some core findings from a qualitative investigation of parents' experiences of their child's treatment in an adolescent mental health service in Sydney, Australia. In particular, the research question was, "How does parents' involvement in the child/adolescent's treatment influence their perception of how they can be helpful in their child's recovery?" The theme of parent hope emerged from the broad qualitative exploration of parent's experience of their involvement in their adolescent's intensive treatment program. A purposive sample of 14 sets of parents participated, being interviewed at admission, discharge, and 6 months following their adolescent's discharge. A continuum of high, moderate, and low levels of hope were evident in this parent sample 6 months after their treatment involvement. The strongly emergent theme was the relationship between parents' hope and agency/self-efficacy. Parents who remained more passive in expecting expert helpers to fix their child experienced reduced hope months after finishing the program. When parents positively changed their interaction with their child, they felt a more sustained hopefulness. These findings generate the hypothesis that if parents are actively involved in changing themselves as part of their child's treatment, they experience increased hope and effectiveness in contributing to their child's recovery.

“…Within this perspective, research has focused on the relationship between externalizing problems and parenting practices during childhood and adolescence. The results are somewhat ambiguous, with some authors finding bidirectional relationships [ 9 , 12 ], others parent-to-child effects [ 11 , 13 ], and others child-to-parent effects [ 10 , 14 ].…”

This study primarily examined the predictive role of emotional and behavioral disorders in family cohesion and the moderating role of parenting alliance. Adolescents’ mental health issues are a major concern, with important implications for individuals and their families. However, the impact of mental disorders on family processes has been less widely studied. Participants in this study were 72 parents of adolescent beneficiaries of mental health services. Questionnaires assessed family cohesion, parenting alliance, and sociodemographic factors. Results indicated that emotional and behavioral disorders did not have an influence on family cohesion. They also suggested that parenting alliance may be a protective factor for family cohesion. This paper highlights the role of parenting alliance as a potential protective factor in positive family processes. These findings support the importance of focusing on the parental subsystem in therapy, and the need to incorporate a positive parenting perspective when working with these families.
