About the Course

This course provides a careful overview of the empirically supported treatments for disruptive behavior disorders in children. These interventions consist mostly of work with parents that integrates behavioral techniques into a family systems framework. The relevant outcome research is summarized in a user-friendly fashion, then the course explains how this research can be integrated with clinical observations to individualize treatment planning for each client. There is step-by-step instruction in an exercise to increase warmth in the parent-child relationship, constructing systems of positive reinforcement, negative consequences including time out, the Collaborative Problem Solving Approach, and Problem-Solving Skills Training, with the twin goals of increasing child compliance and improving the quality of the parent-child relationship. There are case illustrations and numerous examples of good words to say in various clinical situations.

This course is based on chapter 10 of the book, Child and Adolescent Therapy: Science and Art, 2nd Edition created by Jeremy Shapiro in 2015.
