Parents of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) experience very heightened levels of parenting stress. Symptoms of ASD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) vary in children diagnosed with ASD. The current study examined ASD, ADHD, and ODD symptoms in an ASD sample through a hierarchical linear regression to determine which symptoms accounted for the greatest proportion of unshared variance in parenting stress. A total of 84 mothers of sons with ASD participated in an online survey. Findings showed that symptoms associated with ODD accounted for the largest proportion of unshared variance in parenting stress. Symptoms associated with ADHD and ASD did not account for any additional variance in parenting stress above and beyond that explained by ODD symptoms. Interventions for children with ASD should focus on reducing externalizing behaviors to reduce parenting stress.

There is a lack of literature on effective theories to assist couples with childbearing decision conflict. Authors address the ways how Narrative Therapy could serve as a helpful framework to address this particular problem. The literature will review the topic of childbearing conflict amongst couples, and provide background on Narrative Therapy with a focus on Narrative Couple Therapy. A case example is presented to demonstrate the ways Narrative Therapy deals with a couple's conflict on childbearing decision, showing how its techniques can be used to navigate the decision-making process.

Eating disorders are undoubtedly challenging for the adolescents experiencing them, but they can also be challenging for their parents. The current study employed a qualitative research design to examine the challenges endured by parents raising adolescents with eating disorders and undergoing a Family-Based Treatment (FBT) program. Six mothers of adolescents with anorexia nervosa or bulimia were interviewed about the challenges they face as parents of a child with an eating disorder and the changes they have had to make in their lives. Overall, results highlighted challenges from a personal, family, and parental role lens. Findings also call attention to the difficult responsibilities placed on parents during FBT programs such as involvement in their child's refeeding plan and the emotional toll their child's experience places on them. Implications for the level of support needed by parents are discussed according to their role in FBT programs.

Training couples is one of the ways to enrich their relationships. The present research set out to study the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral marital skills training on positive feelings toward spouse and interpersonal trust of married women. This quasi-experimental study used the pretest–posttest design with the control group. The statistical population of this paper was all married women who were visiting an educational center in Arak, Iran. Questionnaires were given to 70 married women. Thirty-nine attendees scored lower than average. Thirty out of 39 participated in the study voluntarily. O'Leary et al. positive feelings toward spouse questionnaire and Gorge and Swap Interpersonal Trust Questionnaire were used to collect data. The training course was held in 10 sessions of 90 min 2 times per week for the experimental group. The results of covariance analysis showed that the scores of the positive feelings toward spouse and interpersonal trust in the experimental group had increased significantly after training ( P<.05) compared to the control group. Cognitive-behavioral marital skills training seems to be an appropriate intervention to improve positive feelings toward spouse and interpersonal trust of married women. Therefore, couple therapists, psychologists, and educators can use cognitive-behavioral marital skills training for couples and people about to get married.

This study was conducted to test for method bias stemming from mixing positively and negatively worded items in a widely used measure of family functioning, the Systemic Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (SCORE). Data were collected from a community sample of 377 U.S. adults with children in the household, with 32% reporting greater family difficulties than a clinical pre-therapy average and 66% reporting greater difficulties than a clinical post-therapy average. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were performed to test two models: Model 1, a unidimensional model in which items represented a single theoretical construct and Model 2, a multidimensional model in which items represented a method dimension (i.e., positively worded or negatively worded) as well as an underlying theoretical construct. Fit indices showed that Model 2 fit the data better than Model 1 for all dimensions tested, suggesting that method bias had detrimental effects on the factor structure of dimensions of the SCORE.

According to the Hospital for Special Surgery, approximately 60 million children between the ages of 6 and 18 in the United States participate in organized sports activities every year. This involves approximately 75% of American families, with at least one child participating in an organized sports activity. The stated purposes of participation in organized sports activities are to assist children and teens in building skills, forming friendships, learning the value of teamwork, and possibly obtaining a scholarship to college. There are, however, related challenging issues. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the obesity rate for children and adolescents ages 2–19 living in the United States is 19.3%, affecting approximately 14.4 million children and adolescents. A sedentary lifestyle for children and teenagers contributes to this epidemic, while participation in sports is seen by many as protective. Challenges in participation, including increasing sports-related injuries, a 70% attrition rate by the time a child is 13 years of age, and programs overemphasizing winning are additional problems encountered in pre-teen and teen sports. The effect of pre-teen and teen participation in sports on family relationships is another potential source of stress and anxiety. This is the primary focus of this paper. The family relationships considered are the children, the parents, the couple, and the grandparents. Therapeutic suggestions and intervention considerations are then provided.

Purpose: To determine physical, psychological, and social challenges experienced by mothers of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: The study has a qualitative design and purposeful sampling consisting of 19 women. Researchers collected data through a semi-structured questionnaire via in-depth interviews. Results: Children had CP due to such reasons as problems occurring during childbirth, after birth, and maternal misconduct. While the physical effects led by children with CP were fatigue, waist/upper extremity pain, and insomnia, respectively, a single psychological effect was detected: sadness. It was found that women’s participation in social activities changed with children’s age, and social influences increased, as children’s age levels advanced. Physical and psychological effects were also detected to increase or change the dimensions of social effects, as age levels progressed. Conclusion: Mothers having children with CP experience physical, psychological, and social problems, and do not receive the expected support.

This article outlines the current research on the treatment of family conflict, structural family theory (SFT), and the application of SFT in the treatment of family conflict. Family therapy is rarely conducted with violent families because of state-mandated programs that focus on the individual perpetrator. Yet, structural family therapy has much potential for addressing power, boundaries, and transactions associated with family violence. The review of utilizing SFT with families experiencing conflict makes the case that early intervention may reduce the rates of violence.

Despite social expectations of parenthood, the proportion of people in the Western world who wish to have children is declining, and the proportion who do not want children is growing. We explored the effect of being “childfree by choice” on women's subjective well-being (SWB) by examining their level of differentiation of self, based on Bowen's family system theory. Fifty-one voluntarily child-free women and 62 mothers (control group) completed a demographic information questionnaire, the Personal Wellbeing Index – Adult (PWI-A), and the Differentiation of Self-Inventory – Revised (DSI-R). No differences were found between child-free women and mothers for four components of differentiation of self and life satisfaction and well-being. Women who chose to remain childfree for internal reasons expressed higher levels of satisfaction with life and SWB, and lower levels of emotional reactivity than those who remained childfree for external reasons. Self-differentiation (I-position) and emotional disengagement (emotional cutoff) significantly contributed to child-free women's well-being. Our results show the importance of emphasizing self-differentiation and emotional disengagement in the context of personal and marital therapy sessions and in therapeutic work with young women facing major life decisions on motherhood/voluntary childlessness.

Helicopter parenting is defined by popular culture as a set of parenting practices characterized by overinvolvement. However, empirical research has not adequately defined the construct, and it is unclear how helicopter parenting may relate to existing parenting behaviors and parenting styles. Participants included 341 caregivers from across the United States who completed a survey about their parenting beliefs and behaviors. Latent class analysis was used to determine combinations of parenting behaviors, and the identified classes of parents were then used to conduct one-way ANOVAs to examine differences in helicopter parenting between the different classes. Results suggest that parents who fit the authoritative parenting profile endorse greater helicopter parenting. Further research needs to be conducted to determine the “tipping point” for when positive parenting practices, which are often associated with positive outcomes, begin to produce negative outcomes.
