Abstract
The present article reviews the behavioral parent training literature from 1975 to 1981. Both case studies and group investigations are included. The content and training methods of the parent intervention literature for children and adolescents are summarized. Methodological and clinical concerns are addressed, most notably generalization issues, the lack of parental observational data, the obtrusiveness of behavioral observation measures, and the need to identify critical characteristics of parents of clinic-referred children. The present status of this area is summarized and future research directions are suggested.Keywords
