Abstract

The effectiveness of a systematic skills training program for stepfamily parents was evaluated. The Sensitivity to Children Scale, Children's Report of Parental Behavior Inventory, Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scales II, and the Kinetic-Family-Drawing were administered to 34 stepfamilies.

Trained parents increased desirable responses and became more verbally responsive. Children identified positive changes in relationships with parents.
