The prevalence of mental health problems during childhood and adolescence is on the rise. There is a growing interest in the examination of personal variables that may function as risk factors and that may be targeted for effective intervention.

Children’s mental problems remain one of the central topics in governments’ agendas because of their negative impact at social and economic levels. The present paper is a single case study, with A-B design with concurrent control through behaviors and participants, aimed to identify the effect of the Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) on four mothers who informed about their children’s disruptive behaviors in the school setting.

Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder and other disabilities report high levels of distress, but systematically evaluated interventions are few. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a novel, manualized Acceptance and Commitment Therapy group intervention (Navigator ACT) in a sample of 94 parents of children with disabilities.

The severe adversity experienced by millions of children in the

developing world leads to failure to thrive associated with cognitive

deficits, emotional management problems, and social impairment. In

this pragmatic randomized controlled trial, 909 children (aged 8–15

years) in India with disadvantaged backgrounds took part in a

semistructured program involving sports or creative arts activities. The

Aim: Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are neurodevelopmental disorders that hinder the normal developmental process and pose enormous challenges to the parents in terms of their role expectations and adjustment with the irreversible conditions of their child. However, little attention has been paid to their psychological needs and wellbeing.

Children who have been adopted from the foster care system often face cumulative risk

factors and are found to be more likely to exhibit higher levels of emotional dysregulation and

behavior problems than non-adopted children (Pollack, 2008). Given this elevated risk for

maladjustment, it is critical to develop treatments to best serve this vulnerable group and their

This study aimed to see whether intervention through ACT on parents can lead to greater acceptance, increased the psychological flexibility of their children's illness and lowered the amount of distress in them.

Background

Evidence suggests that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may accentuate varying psychological symptoms in parents. Since mothers are the most likely individuals interacting with ADHD children, it is highly probable that they will be influenced the most.

Objectives

This pilot study aimed to determine the effect of compassion-focused group therapy on psychological symptoms of mothers of ADHD children.

Objective This study aimed to evaluate parenting education's effectiveness based on acceptance and commitment on anger and emotional self-regulation of mothers of children with ADHD.
