Q

What happened in the case of rusty? - Boardman 1962

A

Parents wanted help for their sons disruptive behaviours such as climbing on roof, playing w matches, being oppositional

Boardman had an idea of working w parents to help them manage rusty’s behaviour and change how they responded to the behaviour - led to a reduction in disruptive behaviour

This empowers & ‘upskills’ parents to manage their child’s behaviour - builds parental confidence - they become agents of change for their children

Q

A meta-analysis of the triple p parenting programme - sanders et al 2014

A
  • Combined data from 101 studies (62 RCTs) that have explored the effectiveness of triple p parenting programme

Q

What would be an example of helping develop a childs STM?

A

pairing cards

26
Q

What is the process of constrictive?

A

Scoping - working out what a child’s current level of ability is

Extending - deciding how to extend skills

Scaffolding - learning new skills via games / procedures

Consolidation - practice & extend skills in real world

27
Q

What is evidence for the the N.F.P.P

A
  • has been tested in a number of randomised controlled trials
  • parents randomised to recieve NFPP (n=20), no treatment (n=30) or to a parent support and counselling group (n=28)
  • assessments completed pre-intervention, post-intervention (week 8), long term follow up (week 23)
28
Q

How are variables measured? - ADHD symptopms

A

Clinical interview & observation

29
Q

How are variables measured? - Parental mental health

A

Parent self-reported

30
Q

N.F.P.P EV

A

= tailored to ADHD
- abikoff et al = conducted a head to head trial of NFPP = ‘helping the noncompliant child’ = another parenting programme

31
Q

How were the ppts asseses - abikoff et al

A
  • Parent and teacher reported adhd symptoms
  • parent behaviour and parent stress
  • objective measures of impulsivity and sustained attention - self report, parent report
32
Q

What were the findings of NFPP v HNC

A

NFPP & HNC = led to reductions in parent reported adhd symptoms no superior effect of NFPP

NFPP = may not effectively alter the processes thought to underlie adhd

BOTH = effective but not more than the other

33
Q

If NFPP = based on theory - why is it not better than oter beh interventions?

A

the cog component in NFPP = not intensive enough
may need to combine diff aspects of executive func = not all children w adhd show wmm deficits

adhd = chronic disorder

more research = needed in this area

34
Q

What has been less of a focus in models of childhood anx

A

parent beh = less of a focus in models of childhood anxiety

35
Q

What = main treatment for anxiety in youth in cog beh therapy?

A

CBT

36
Q

What are the components of CBT children?

  • monitoring
  • cognitive restructuring
  • exposure
  • skills dev
37
Q

What is monitoring?

A

wanting children to notice and label their emotions accurately

38
Q

What is cog restructuring?

A

working on thoughts children may have on specific situations, helping child see situation in a diff way

F = feeling frightened = identifying (monitoring componenet of cbt)

E = expecting a bad thing to happen = looking at thouughts and cognitions relating to emotions

Results showed there was little diff about parental involvement as both condition 1 & 2 = 64% children ‘lost’ primary anxiety diagnosis

In contol group = only 42% ‘lost’ primary anxiety diagnosis

48

cbt = effective doesnt work for everyone
