SUMMARY The outcome of 19 consecutive children referred with sleep disorders and managed by behavioural methods is described. An 84 % success rate is reported, which was maintained at 6 months' follow up. Successful outcome was associated with absence of marital discord and attendance of both parents at treatment sessions.A sleep problem is one of the most common disorders reported by parents of preschool children. Difficulty may be experienced settling a child to sleep or in frequent night waking, or both. This may seriously disrupt family life leading to fatigue, irritability, limitations on the parents' activities, and marital strain. Bax has drawn attention to the association of sleep problems with child abuse and maternal depression.'Most epidemiological studies have investigated the prevalence of night waking rather than settling problems. One study reported night waking in 23 % of infants at 1 year, 24% at 18 months, and 14% at age 3 years.2 Other studies report similar data.3-5 Richman et al.6 found that 13 % of 3 year olds were having difficulty settling to sleep and 14% were waking at night. The longitudinal studiesl 4 5 substantiate the clinical impression that in many children night waking persists through the preschool years.

“…However, sole reliance on written material is unlikely to be effective. McAuley (1982) has argued that there is some evidence that the simplest of treatment techniques, namely time out, may be ineffective when used in isolation (e.g. Wahler, 1969;Herbert et al, 1973).…”

Conduct-disordered behaviour in children has long been recognised as an area of particular concern for counsellors, clinical and educational psychologists and other professionals, especially given its widespread incidence and poor long-term prognosis. In response to this concern, one recent development in the field has been the use of an applied social learning theory approach, utilising a triadic model of intervention. Such a model, rather than working directly with the child, firmly locates the parent or other caregiver as the agent of change. This paper reviews critically the work which has been carried out under the broad rubric of the m'adic model, addressing specifcally the short-and longer-term eflcacy of such interventions. In addition, certain shortcomings and limitations in existing practice are identifed. It is argued that, in order to optimise the eflectiveness of interventions, this will in many instances require a consideration of and work on parental well-being and self-esteem, the role of family dynamics and the influence of the social context.Conduct-disordered behaviour in children has long been recognised as an area of particular concern for clinical psychologists and other professionals, especially given its widespread incidence and poor long-term prognosis. Historically, however, lasting therapeutic change has proved difficult to facilitate. A recent development has been the use of a triadic model as a mode of intervention. This model, rather than working directly with the child, firmly locates the parent or other caregiver as the agent of change.This paper seeks to identify the theoretical rationale underlying the use of the triadic model as a therapeutic strategy with conduct-disordered children. It then considers the types of interventions which have been used under the rubric of such a model and the efficacy, both short-and long-term, of such interventions. Finally, it considers some limitations of this approach, particularly if used narrowly. Specifically, it is argued that to optimise the effectiveness of interventions, many cases may require a consideration of, and work on, parental well-being and self-esteem, the role of family dynamics and the influence of the social context.

“…The research often indicates unspecified treatment procedures (Patterson, 1974;Kolvinet al, 1981). Treatment outcomes are generally poor (McAuley, 1982) and may be related to personal qualities of the therapist or counsellor (Wolfe, 1983).…”
