Factors affecting resistance and compliance during behavioral parent training
Abstract
Eighteen videotaped sessions of behavioral parent training were coded using a modification of the Therapy Process Code developed by Patterson's group at OSLC. The Event History Analysis method evaluated the effect of the therapist's verbal behavior and level of experience on the duration of parental resistance and compliance within the sessions. Results indicate that therapist facilitative and supportive statements decrease the durations of resistance within sessions. Experienced therapist verbal behavior had no impact on durations of resistance, but novice therapists verbal behaviors of facilitate, support, and teach did decrease durations of resistance. Parental "trait" resistance had only a minimal affect of increasing durations of resistance but the affect was lessened by facilitative behaviors of the therapists. Compliance durations were not influenced by therapist verbal behavior. The ramifications of the results for training in parent training and consultation is discussed.
