A Pilot Study Examining the Effect of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as Parent Counseling
Journal of Child and Family Studies, 2021Co-Authors: Denise H. M. Bodden, Denise MatthijssenAbstract:This is the first pilot study that investigates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as Parent Counseling in Parents with children with various psychopathology. Improvements on Parental psychological flexibility, Parenting behavior, Parent-child relations, Parental competence, and Parental psychopathology were found. These preliminary findings indicate that ACT as Parent Counseling is a feasible and acceptable intervention for Parents of children with various psychopathology. There is some scientific evidence to support the applicability and preliminary effects of ACT as a Parent intervention but more research is needed. In this pilot research, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is provided as a Parent Counseling therapy in order to increase psychological flexibility which in turn helps Parents to choose attuned Parenting behavior, invest in a helpful Parent-child relationship, deal with feelings of incompetence, and cope with their own psychopathology. ACT Parent Counseling is developed for Parents of children (3–18 years old) with psychiatric problems. The mean age of the Parents ( n = 101) was 47.1 years (range = 30–66). A repeated measures design was used including pretreatment, posttreatment, and 6-month follow-up measurements. The main outcomes were ACT measures (psychological flexibility, Parental psychological inflexibility, and cognitive fusion). Secondary outcomes included Parenting behavior, the quality of the Parent-child interaction, Parental competence, Parental psychopathology, and the satisfaction with the treatment program. This is the first study we know of that showed statistically significant improvements on Parental psychological flexibility, Parenting behavior (except behavioral control), Parent-child relations, Parental competence, and Parental internalizing psychopathology directly after treatment. At 6-month follow-up, significantly less conflicts, more Parental competence, and less Parental psychopathology was found. However, the improvements were not clinically significant, as calculated with the RCI. No control group was used in this uncontrolled pilot study but preliminary findings indicate that ACT Parent Counseling can help Parents to increase psychological flexibility in order to choose more flexible and effective Parenting behavior.

Autism, cognition, and Parent Counseling--Part 2.
Journal of developmental and behavioral pediatrics : JDBP, 2012Co-Authors: Jon Matthew FarberAbstract:As the incidence of autism has risen, many neurodevelopmental pediatricians have been omitting a consideration of cognitive level in their evaluation of children, and in communicating with Parents. This is a disservice to families, who should be given pertinent information, both in verbal and written forms, about their child and the prognosis. A template is presented for a letter that can be provided to Parents, highlighting the basic information they need after a diagnosis has been made.

Autism, cognition, and Parent Counseling.
Journal of developmental and behavioral pediatrics : JDBP, 2010Co-Authors: Jon Matthew FarberAbstract:Parents often have an inaccurate understanding of outcomes in autism, and developmentalists contribute to this when they omit consideration of cognitive functioning in their discussions with Parents. Developmentalists need to incorporate information about cognitive levels (including intellectual disability, when present), in order to properly educate Parents about prognosis for their child with autism.

intensive care for very low birthweight infants in south africa a survey of physician attitudes Parent Counseling and resuscitation practices
Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 2005Co-Authors: Colin J Partridge, Alma M Martinez, Tushar M Ranchod, D E Ballot, Barbara J Cory, V A DaviesAbstract:Improving outcomes have promoted utilization of intensive care for premature infants in developing countries with available fiscal and technological resources. Physician Counseling and decision-making have not been characterized where economic restrictions, governmental guidelines, and physician cultural attitudes may influence decisions about the appropriateness of neonatal intensive care. A cross-sectional survey of all neonatologists and pediatricians providing neonatal care in public and private hospitals in South Africa (n=394) was carried out. Physicians returned 93 surveys (24 per cent response rate). Frequency of Counseling increased with increasing gestational age (GA) but was not universally provided at any GA. Morbidity and mortality were consistently discussed and fiscal considerations frequently discussed when antenatal Counseling occurred. Resuscitation thresholds were 25-26 weeks and 665-685 g, and were higher in public than in private hospitals. Decisions to limit resuscitation were based more on expected outcome than on patients' wishes or economics. At 24-25 weeks, 91 per cent of physicians would not resuscitate despite Parents' wishes; 93 per cent of physicians would resuscitate 28-29-week-old infants over Parents' refusal. Parents expecting premature infants are not invariably counseled. In making life-support decisions, physicians consider infants' best interests and, less frequently, financial and emotional burdens. Thresholds for resuscitation and intensive care are higher in public hospitals, and higher than in developed countries. Physicians relegate Parents to a passive role in life-support decisions.

delivery room resuscitation decisions for extremely low birthweight infants in california
Journal of Perinatology, 2001Co-Authors: Colin J Partridge, Hank Freeman, Erica Weiss, Alma M MartinezAbstract:OBJECTIVE: To characterize physician–Parent Counseling and delivery room resuscitation of extremely low birthweight (ELBW) infants. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey of 473 California neonatologists detailing Counseling patterns, resuscitation thresholds, and acceptance of Parental decision making. RESULTS: The response rate was 61%. After 23 weeks' gestation, >80% of neonatologists counseled Parents expecting ELBW infants. All (>99%) counseled Parents about mortality; >25% reported not discussing limiting resuscitation or death despite resuscitation. Decisions to limit resuscitation were affected by congenital anomalies, Parents' wishes, or perceptions of pain, suffering, and quality of life. Nearly 70% of neonatologists supported Parental decision making at 22 to 23 weeks, whereas 66% to 74% responded that Parents should not be allowed to make nonresuscitation decisions after 26 weeks. Median resuscitation thresholds were 23 weeks (range 20–28) and 500 g (range 350–1000). CONCLUSIONS: Neonatologists' failure to discuss nonresuscitation options, variations in resuscitation thresholds, and unwillingness to accept nonresuscitation decisions for more mature ELBW infants may restrict Parental decision making.

NEONATOLOGISTS' PRACTICES IN RESUSCITATION OF ELBW INFANTS: CONSIDERATIONS OF INFANT VIABILITY AND ParentAL ROLE. 878
Pediatric Research, 1997Co-Authors: Hank Freeman, J. Colin Partridge, Erica Weiss, Alma M MartinezAbstract:Physician decisions to resuscitate ELBW infants in the delivery room (DR) and antenatal Parent Counseling have been poorly studied. To assess current neonatal practices of initiating life-support in the DR for ELBW infants, we surveyed 447 neonatologists in California, 263 (59%) returned completed surveys; they were typically white (61%), male (65%), Parents (83%), 46(± 1, SEM) yrs old, 13 (± 1, SEM) yrs in practice, board-certified (83%), and on-service 8 mo/yr. 34% had made life-support decisions for family members, 18% for their own premature infants.

Conduct disorder: diagnosis and treatment in primary care.
American family physician, 2001Co-Authors: H R Searight, F Rottnek, S L AbbyAbstract:Conduct disorder is a common childhood psychiatric problem that has an increased incidence in adolescence. The primary diagnostic features of conduct disorder include aggression, theft, vandalism, violations of rules and/or lying. For a diagnosis, these behaviors must occur for at least a six-month period. Conduct disorder has a multifactorial etiology that includes biologic, psychosocial and familial factors. The differential diagnosis of conduct disorder includes oppositional defiant disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), mood disorder and intermittent explosive disorder. Family physicians may provide brief, behaviorally focused Parent Counseling, pharmacotherapy and referral for more intensive family and individual psychotherapy.
