Abstract
Examined the efficacy of behavioral family intervention (BFI) for the treatment of child oppositional and conduct behavior problems in stepfamilies. Forty-two stepfamilies were randomly assigned to wait list control, therapist-directed BFI, or self-directed BFI. No significant differences were obtained for self-directed vs. therapist-directed BFI. Families receiving BFI reported significantly greater reductions from pre- to post-intervention in child behavior problems and couple conflict over parenting, and were more likely to show clinically significant and statistically reliable improvements on a range of family and child measures than control families. Future research should focus on developing and evaluating preventive interventions for stepfamilies.
