Available for the 26-27 Training Year

ELECTIVE DESCRIPTION:

Behavioral Parent Training is specifically aimed at disruptive child behavior problems. It is highly structured and delivered to families in groups as a therapeutic intervention.

Child/teen diagnoses include Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorders (high functioning), DMDD and, less frequently, Conduct Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Adjustment Disorders, and Encopresis. Most families are referred from the Child Outpatient and Inpatient Services, or community agencies. Many families are concurrently being seen within other modalities (individual psychotherapy for parent or child, psychiatric care, or other family therapy).
