This research applies the principles of experimental attributional research to the clinical field. The aims of the study were to evaluate a child and family therapy treatment programme using multiple assessment measures, and to examine the relationship between pre-therapy parental attributions of emotional disturbance and outcome of therapy. Seventy families referred for psychiatric treatment were interviewed before any clinical intervention and were followed up two months after discharge. Standardized checklists and interview data indicated a significant improvement in those families who continued with treatment. While psychological and parental theories of emotional disturbance proved to be remarkably discrepant, results supported the hypotheses in that: (i) mothers were more likely to attribute the child's disturbed behaviour primarily to themselves than were fathers; (ii) the type of attribution given, particularly by the mothers, related to successful outcome; (iii) whatever their primary attribution of disturbance, mothers felt more responsible for their child's behaviour than fathers; and (iv) the degree of self-held responsibility affected the chances of outcome success. It was suggested that these differences will become more apparent when data on those families who did not continue with treatment are included in the analysts. |
