Relationships Among Relational Communication Processes and Perceptions of Outcomes in Conjoint Behavioral Consultation

Further iterations on using the Problem-analysis Framework

“…When the owner has perceived practitioner information gathering or integration, for example, as positive and beneficial, they are more likely to engage and thus implement the negotiated intervention. Social communicative style has also been found to be critical across the problem-solving cycle (Grissom, Erchul, & Sheridan, 2003;Knotek, 2003;Lee & Jamison, 2003); use of jargon/slang/pseudo-professional language, non-specificity, and so on are all important factors to consider throughout the problem-analysis cycle.…”

Exploring Relational Communication Patterns in Prereferral Intervention Teams

“…The Family Relational Control Coding System (FRC-CCS; Heatherington & Friedlander, 1987) was applied to obtain measures of relational control for PIT meetings. Since its development, the FRCCCS has been used in studies of familial interactions during therapy (e.g., Friedlander, Wildman, & Heatherington, 1991) and studies of conjoint behavioral consultation (Erchul et al, 1999;Grissom et al, 2003). The reliability and validity of the FRCCCS has been documented previously (e.g., see Erchul et al, 1999).…”

“…In a second study, Grissom, Erchul, and Sheridan (2003) examined the relationship between relational communication variables (i.e., dominance and domineeringness) and outcomes of CBC. Twenty CBC PIIs were coded using the FRCCCS, and three outcome measures were utilized: (a) consultee perceptions of the acceptability/effectiveness of CBC, (b) consultee perceptions of the effectiveness of CBC consultants, and (c) consultee perceptions of client goal attainment.…”

“…In other words, as parents were more successful at influencing consultants, teachers tended to view CBC as less acceptable and effective. Second, parent dominance toward both consultants and teachers was negatively related to parents' perceptions of goal attainment (r D .61 for parent-to-consultant dominance and r D .58 for parent-to-teacher dominance; Grissom et al, 2003). The goal of this exploratory study was to extend the relational communication perspective to PITs, and the more specific objective was to examine and document the relational patterns that characterize PIT meetings.…”

The Past, Present, and Future of Conjoint Behavioral Consultation Research

“…In a similar study, Grissom, Erchul, and Sheridan (2003) investigated aspects of interpersonal control in CBC in relation to case outcomes. Measures of dominance and domineeringness were assessed using the FRCCCS and compared to outcome measures of acceptability/effectiveness of CBC, consultant effectiveness, and attainment of consultation goals.…”
