These behaviours constitute the targets of the Behavioural Parent Training (BPT). This study evaluates the effectiveness of these program for 25 families of children and adolescents with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) (mean age = 10.6 years). During 10 sessions of Group BPT, therapists teach parents appropriate procedures to manage their child’s maladaptive behaviours. According to a dimensional approach, the frequency and intensity of disruptive behaviours are measured using Barkley’s home situation questionnaire before and after the BPT, and compared to a control population. The main results show a decrease in the intensity of disruptive behaviours in children and adolescents with AD/HD and a diminution of problematic situations for teenagers. Moreover, after the BPT, the frequency and intensity of disruptive behaviours of children and adolescents with AD/HD tend to be closer to those presented by a control population. This study validates the effectiveness of this BPT with an AD/HD population and the understanding of this disorder as developmental. Show less
