Evaluación de la Eficacia a Corto y Medio Plazo del Programa de Intervención Precoz en Situaciones de Violencia Filioparental

Abstract

The search for effective treatment programs targeting parents of adolescents or young people who behave violently towards them is a highly relevant topic. The main goal of this study is to show some evidence of the short- and medium-term efficacy of the Early Intervention Program in Child-to-Parent Violence. Through a pre- post-followup design, the effect of the treatment on aggressive discipline is evaluated (body and psychological punishment) and depressive symptomatology of 33 parents, as well as level of child-to-parent violence and family conflict. After completing the program, the level of aggressive discipline and depressive symptoms, as well as child-to-parent violence and family conflict decreased, and these effects remained at six months. The results of this study improve the quality of the evidence of the evaluated program in clinical and social services contexts.
