Abstract:

Background: Parent programmes are a NICE (2017) recommended intervention for parents of children who have a conduct disorder and evidence suggests a number of benefits to paternal involvement in such interventions. However, on the whole fathers are often unrepresented at parenting groups. The present study aimed to understand the issues to which facilitators attributed paternal absence from parenting groups. Method: Thematic analysis was chosen to highlight salient ideas in facilitators' explanations. The participants were a volunteer sample of nine parenting group facilitators, from various c

Abstract:

This thesis comprises two parts. The first part is a systematic literature review evaluating the long-term (one year and over) effects of group parent training programmes. From 19 selected papers findings suggested that the positive effects of attending a parenting programme can last up to 14 years after the programme has finished in the areas of child behaviour, parents’ own feelings of well-being, and parenting skills, style and competence. The second part is an empirical study of an uncontrolled pre, post and follow-up evaluation of the Understanding Your Child’s Behaviour (UYCB) group: A p

Abstract:

The research investigated 60 parents with conduct disordered children (49 were female and 11 male, 45 had partners and 15 were lone parents, 7 attended with their partners). Forty nine parents joined one of two parent training programmes, in order to compare and contrast effectiveness and to identify essential or core therapeutic variables. Six groups were measured against a non-treatment control group (n=11). Three groups (n=27) used the Fun and Families programme (Neville, King and Beak, 1995) whilst a further three (n=22) completed the WINNING programme (Dangel and Polster, 1988). Additiona

Abstract:

The first chapter presents a systematic review of how parenting groups can impact observed parent-child interaction, focussing on the groups recommended to UK commissioners. Seventeen studies were identified, evaluating eight of the 21 recommended programmes. Sixteen studies reported post-intervention improvements in observed parent-child interaction. Most studies reported summary, rather than detailed, variables describing parent-child interaction. The findings suggest that several parenting groups are associated with observed improvement in parent-child interaction, although the level of evi

Abstract:

Research over the last several decades offers clear evidence that mothers experience considerable pressure in carrying out the expectations of contemporary mothering, including expanded responsibilities relating to child and family health (Hays, 1996; Wolf, 2013). While we know that these pressures produce negative impacts, we know less about the strategies and tools mothers use to cope with these anxieties as they try to "do it right" (Villalobos, 2014). At the same time, research suggests that mothering is increasingly digitally-embedded, as mothers look to the internet and social media for
