TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an update on the state of the art of family-based treatment research and recommend recommendations for the next decade of research and some implications of family treatment for child and adolescent psychiatry.
Abstract: Objective To provide an update on the state of the art of family-based treatment research. Method Randomized clinical trials conducted in the past 10 years that included parents as a primary participant in treatment of child and adolescent psychiatric problems were reviewed. Studies were identified from major literature search engines (e.g., PsycINFO , Medline ). Current significant pilot work was identified in the National Institute of Mental Health Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects (CRISP) Web page or from the authors themselves. Results Family treatments have proven effective with externalizing disorders, particularly conduct and substance abuse disorders, and in reducing the comorbid family and school behavior problems associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Several new studies suggest that family treatments or treatment augmented by family treatments are effective for depression and anxiety. Conclusions For many disorders, family treatments can be an effective stand-alone intervention or an augmentation to other treatments. Engaging parents in the treatment process and reducing the toxicity of a negative family environment can contribute to better treatment engagement, retention, compliance, effectiveness, and maintenance of gains. Recommendations for the next decade of research and some implications of family-based treatment for child and adolescent psychiatry are explored.

TL;DR: In this article, an evaluation of the use of two very brief instruments for monitoring the process and outcome of therapy, the Outcome Rating Scale and the Session Rating Scale (SRS), in a study involving 75 therapists and 6,424 clients over a two year period was conducted.
Abstract: Research has found that client change occurs earlier rather than later in the treatment process, and that the client’s subject experience of meaningful change in the first few sessions is critical. If improvement in the client’s subject sense of well-being does not occur in the first few sessions then the likelihood of a positive outcome significantly decreases. Recent studies have found that there are significant improvements in both retention and outcome when therapists receive formal, realtime feedback from clients regarding the process and outcome of therapy. However, the most used instruments in these feedback studies are long and take up valuable therapy time to complete. It has been found that most therapists are not likely to use any feedback instruments if it takes more than five minutes to complete, score and interpret. This article reports the results of an evaluation of the use of two very brief instruments for monitoring the process and outcome of therapy, the Outcome Rating Scale (ORS) and the Session Rating Scale (SRS), in a study involving 75 therapists and 6,424 clients over a two year period. These two instruments were found to be valid and reliable and had a high use-rate among the therapists. The findings are discussed in light of the current emphasis on evidence-based practice.

TL;DR: A very brief history of the first organized efforts to treat children's problems can be found in this article, where a summary of the primary theories that currently inform the majority of the treatment and prevention studies for antisocial children is given.
Abstract: This chapter is divided into four main sections. The introduction covers a very brief history of the first organized efforts to treat children’s problems. It also includes information from epidemiological studies of conduct disorders in children. The second section consists of a summary of two of the primary theories that currently inform the majority of the treatment and prevention studies for antisocial children. These include parent training therapy and variants of social skills training that may emphasize a variety of skill deficits ranging from poor peer relations to anger control and deficits in cognitive processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis examined data from five studies (N = 111) that compared the efficacy of standard approaches to counseling for depression with religion-accommodative approaches.
Abstract: The present meta-analysis examined data from 5 studies (N = 111) that compared the efficacy of standard approaches to counseling for depression with religion-accommodative approaches. There was no evidence that the religion-accommodative approaches were more or less efficacious than the standard approaches. Findings suggest that the choice to use religious approaches with religious clients is probably more a matter of client preference than a matter of differential efficacy. However, additional research is needed to examine whether religion-accommodative approaches yield differential treatment satisfaction or differential improvements in spiritual well-being or facilitate relapse prevention. Given the importance of religion to many potential consumers of psychological services, counseling psychologists should devote greater attention to religion-accommodative counseling in future studies.

TL;DR: The characteristics that distinguish nonattenders from attenders at a child psychiatry clinic prior to dropping out are presented in this article, where nonattendance was primarily a function of referral source and the caretaker's symptomatology.
Abstract: The characteristics that distinguish nonattenders from attenders at a child psychiatry clinic prior to dropping out are presented. Nonattendance was primarily a function of referral source and the caretaker's symptomatology. Moreover, there was evidence of an interaction in the relationship of dropping out, referral source, and the caretaker's level of disturbance. There were no differences between the attenders and nonattenders on family sociodemographic characteristics or the child's symptomatology. The nonattenders' reasons for dropping out are delineated. The findings are discussed in terms of establishing procedures to counteract the factors influencing nonattendance, with a resultant increase in the effectiveness of an outpatient service, and the implications for research on clinical samples.
