About

The efficacy of cognitive-behavioral based guided self-help for parents of children with externalizing problem behavior is tested in a randomized clinical trial. Parents work through cognitive-behavioral self-help booklets and additionally receive counseling telephone calls every two weeks. In the control condition parents are provided non-directive self-help booklets and additionally receive counseling telephone calls. It is hypothesized that the cognitive-behavioral treatment is superior.
