Parental Involvement and the Effectiveness of an Adolescent Day Treatment Program.

Waugh, Timothy A.; Kjos, Diane L.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v21 n4 p487-97 Aug 1992

Results from an outcome study of 50 adolescents with behavioral and emotional problems in a partial hospitalization program reflect parental involvement during the treatment process. High parental involvement is related to greater improvement in school and home functioning, reduced rehospitalization, and reduced pathology and problem severity ratings. (SLD)
