Abstract
The purpose of this pilot study was to test the efficacy of providing services to families when the father was incar cerated. The program consisted of teaching parents better com munication and child management skills. Parents and children were measured before and after an eight-week training program. Communication skills increased to the projected target level in all parents after program completion. Child management skills increased in two of the three families in the program. The study offers conclusions for the development of a wide range of services to families when a parent is incarcerated.
