Parents who bring their children to mental health clinics frequently manifest high rates of mental health difficulties themselves. The aim of this paper is to examine the rates of depressive symptoms and mental health service use among caregivers whose children receive treatment for disruptive behaviour disorders. The study uses baseline data from the Family Groups for Urban Youth with Disruptive Behaviors study; a study which involved children aged 7-11 years with a diagnosis of oppositional defiant disorder or conduct disorder and their adult caregivers. For this paper, baseline assessments for 212 caregivers were assessed to determine rates of caregiver depressive symptoms and lifetime mental health service use. The findings indicate that caregivers manifest substantially higher rates of depressive symptoms compared to national norms. Of those caregivers with clinically significant depressive symptoms, less than half reported ever receiving mental health services. The findings suggest that greater attention should be paid to identifying and treating caregiver depression among children receiving treatment for disruptive behaviour disorders.

The aim of this study was to investigate if children's global functioning improves after psychodynamic psychotherapy. Data were collected as part of the Erica Process and Outcome Study. The sample consisted of 33 children aged 5-10 years who participated in psychodynamic psychotherapy with parallel work with parents. Twenty-nine children had at least one DSM-IV diagnosis, the most frequent of which were attention disorder and disruptive behaviour, and 15 children had comorbid conditions. The child was given 1 or 2 psychotherapy sessions per week from between 6 months to 2.5 years. Parents were expected to participate in their own psychotherapy at least once fortnightly. Child psychotherapists rated the children's global functioning using the measures the Children’s Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) and the Hampstead Child Adaption Measure (HCAM). The findings showed that the children’s global functioning improved substantially. However, no correlations were found between global functioning and different variables including age, gender, diagnosis, or number of sessions. In order to illuminate the complex connection between process and outcome, the study was complemented with 2 in-depth case studies where data were taken from questionnaires, completed by the child therapists every 3rd month. The analysis showed that important individual change, for example, attainment of formulated goals, was not always reflected in the change rated using the CGAS.

This is a summary of a rapid review that was undertaken to examine the effectiveness of behavioural interventions for sleep problems in young disabled children (up to age eight years), specifically interventions that can be carried out by parents in the home. Nineteen studies were identified, four were RCTs and 15 were before and after studies, most of which had less than 10 participants. Three of the four RCTs had been conducted in a UK setting. The majority of participants had learning disabilities ranging from mild to severe and had serious sleep problems of long-standing duration. The studies are grouped by type of intervention in the following categories: non-specific behavioural interventions (ie those not focusing on a single behavioural intervention; extinction; sleep restriction; and faded bedtime with response cost. Appendices include details of the search strategy used, details of excluded papers and quality assessment of randomised controlled trials. The review was funded by the Centre for Excellence and Outcomes in Children and Young People's Services.
