Abstract
Two-parent families indicating difficulty in managing the behavior of their children volunteered to participate in a 9-week behavior modification parent training project. The 16 participating families were randomly assigned to one of four groups: (1) mother training, (2) father training, (3) couple training, and (4) notreatment control. All participants designed, implemented, and evaluated behavior modification programs aimed at alleviating their children's problem behaviors. Results indicated significant improvement in the target behaviors for each of the treatment groups. The gains were maintained at 3-months follow-up. The role of parenting groups in the delivery of preventive and interventive mental health services was discussed.
