Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Relationship Therapy in the Treatment of Children Referred for Antisocial Behavior

Kazdin, Alan E.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v57 n4 p522-35 Aug 1989

Evaluated alternative treatments for children (N=112) referred for severe antisocial behavior. Assigned children to one of three treatments: (1) problem-solving skills training (PSST); (2) PSST with in vivo practice (PSST-P); or (3) client-centered relationship therapy (RT). Found increases in prosocial behavior in PSST and PSST-P children while RT children remained at pretreatment functioning level. (Author/CM)
