Abstract
A procedure of author’s behavioral training “There is a contact” for parents of children with conduct problems is described, and an assessment of its effectiveness in a longitudinal controlled study is carried out. The intervention group consisted of 17 parents of children with high rate of behavioral problems (12 boys and 5 girls), and the control group consisted of 34 parents of children (19 boys and 15 girls); children were at the age of 2—8 years. The initial level of children’s conduct problems was similar in both groups according to the Eyberg child be- havior inventory. Level of conduct problems in the control group remained sta- ble during six months after the training, and in the intervention group reduced significantly (t=2,3, p<0,05). Large positive effect of intervention on mothers’ disciplinary tactics and anxiety-depression symptoms was revealed in a year after the training (Cohen’s d=2,2 and 0.94, respectively). Conclusion: the program “There is a contact” can be recommended for professionals working with chil- dren’s conduct problems.
