“…Family and parent-focused interventions in this review addressed a variety of populations within LMIC, including communities affected by armed conflict O'Callaghan et al 2014), higher rates of violence and violent behaviours (Maalouf and Campello 2014), or high risk of or being affected by HIV (Bell et al 2008;Eloff et al 2014;, to specific clinical groups including autism spectrum disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder (Abedi and Vostanis 2010;Bello-Mojeed et al 2016).…”

Objectives Children and youth in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC) are at greater risk for poor mental health. Adverse circumstances including poverty, violence, and lack of available psychological treatments increase their vulnerability. Given the importance of the family environment for child and youth wellbeing, family interventions are a powerful mode of treatment; however, their development and evaluation has received relatively little attention in LMIC. Methods This review presents evidence for family-and parent-focused interventions on mental health outcomes for children and youth in LMIC and identifies treatment components present in promising interventions. A systematic search was conducted using comprehensive search terms in five databases (Global Health, PubMed, PsychINFO, PILOTS, and Cochrane Library). Reporting follows PRISMA guidelines. Independent raters screened and retrieved articles for inclusion, completed quality ratings, conducted data extraction, and coded common practice elements. Results This review included 36 papers representing 32 unique studies of family or parenting interventions in LMIC. Study designs covered: RCTs (50% of studies), pre-to-post studies (38%), and other (12%). The majority of interventions showed positive outcomes for child and youth mental health and wellbeing. The two most frequently used treatment techniques were caregiver psychoeducation and caregiver coping skills; the next most common were treatment processes of providing between-session homework and accessibility promotion. Conclusions Evidence for family-focused interventions for child and youth mental health in LMIC is growing with several promising approaches that should be more rigorously evaluated. Further research into effects of specific intervention components will ensure targeted and optimally effective interventions.

“…Many of the principles of positive psychology have been translated into concrete interventions that may be used by primary clinicians and outreach efforts. The format of these positive psychology interventions (PPIs) varies, ranging from online interventions (Boehm, Lyubomirsky, & Sheldon, 2011;Ouweneel, Le Blanc, & Schaufeli, 2013), to self-help books (Parks & Szanto, 2013) to individual and group therapy (Seligman et al, 2006;Abedi & Vostanis, 2010). PPIs typically have the intention of improving overall well-being and seek to do so by focusing on improving a specific strength or value such as gratitude (Emmons & McCullough, 2003), mindfulness (Grossman, Niemann, Schmidt, & Walach, 2004), forgiveness (Reed & Enright, 2006), or resilience (Abbott, Klein, Hamilton, & Rosenthal, 2009).…”

College counseling centers nationwide are having difficulty meeting the increasing demand for services they are seeing. We present an undergraduate positive psychology course taught as outreach and prevention by counseling center therapists as a way to potentially address this demand. During the two primary semesters of the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 academic years, 133 students enrolled in the course and completed pre and post measures. Students evidenced significantly decreased psychological distress, increased psychological well-being, and increased subjective happiness. We discuss the format of this course and its elements as both outreach/prevention and therapeutic interventions to meet the increased demand for services.

A B S T R A C TThe studies conducted in recent decades on the effects of attachment-based relationships and the way of training caregivers and its effects have shown that parenting style and the quality of parent-child relationship has a significant role in the formation of anxiety in children. The purpose of this study is investigating the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral training of mother-child relationship on reducing obsessive-compulsive symptoms in children. In an experimental clinical study, available sampling method was used to collect 30 mothers whose children had been diagnosed to have obsessivecompulsive disorder based on DSM-IV-TR criteria, as sample. Then, they were randomly assigned to an experimental group which received intervention and cognitive-behavioral training on mother-child relationship without the presence of their children in 12 two-hour sessions and a control group which received no intervention. Yale-Brown scale was used before the course, after completing the course, and 30 days later in both groups in order to compare the results. The collected data were then analyzed by using SPSS 20 software and the analysis of variance with repeated measures. The experimental and control groups were significantly different in their pretest, posttest, and follow up scores, which means oppressive-compulsive thoughts and actions of the experimental group reduced in terms of time, interference, resistance, and control. cognitive-behavioral training on mother-child relationship has been effective in reducing the symptoms of obsessive behavior in children.
