Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Disruptive Behavior in Children and Adolescents
This is an open pilot trial of web-based parent training for tantrums and disruptive behavior
in children. Parents will be asked to complete a battery of tests to assess their children'
behaviors before and after the intervention. Children will undergo a psychiatric evaluation
as part of screening. The intervention will be delivered online via an app over a period of 6
weeks. It consists of 8 self-guided courses that take approximately 10 minutes to complete
and include text and animated parent-child simulations. Parents will also complete 3 one-hour
videoconferencing sessions with a study clinician. During the intervention, parents will be
taught various strategies for managing situations that can be anger provoking for their
child. This study is conducted to examine whether a digitally-delivered version of
parent-management training can be used to reduce behavioral problems including anger
outbursts, irritability, aggression and noncompliance.
