- Brief Summary
Children receiving IFT (intensive family therapy) were assessed for symptom profile and global functioning before admission, 3 months after discharge and 1 year after discharge. Children were assessed by parents, children, their teachers and themselves. Parents were assessed by themselves at the same points in time through psychological self-report questionnaires.
The study is intended to explore covariates to change in children as well as in parents during (pre-treatment) the treatment and follow-up periods.
- Detailed Description
IFT is an intensive combinatory family treatment which is child-oriented, and traditionally used in an inpatient family treatment unit in child and adolescent psychiatry.
Measures include ones on bonding (PBI), personality traits (NEO-PI), anxiety and depressive symptoms (HADS), attributional tendencies (PAT) and social desirable responding (BIDR). A subgroup was also assessed before a waiting period (pre-treatment).
