Parent-led therapy may lack lasting impact on children's behavior
The article reviews how well treatment effects carry over when parents are trained as behavior therapists. They looked at different ways to check if the treatment worked in different situations and with other family members. The more thorough the assessment, the less positive the results tended to be. Not many studies have looked at how to make sure the treatment effects continue over time and in different places. The article suggests that more research is needed to figure out how to make sure the treatment effects last when parents are the ones providing therapy.
