“…It is notable that the parents’ criticisms and complaints generally were not expressed with hostility, which might explain why they did not tend to elicit the type of mutual aversiveness that can erupt between parents and children, including children with disabilities (Fenning et al, 2014). Indeed, encouraging parents to use effective, non-hostile ways of stating problems or complaints is the type of skillful approach to discussing problems that is encouraged in therapeutic interventions with families (e.g., Alexander et al, 2013). For children, learning to respond to criticism in a non-defensive, self-confident way may be a useful skill for managing conflicts with peers (Vernberg, 1990).…”

“…In order to problem solve effectively, family members must regulate hostility, disclose openly, support and validate each other, and generate new ideas and solutions to family problems (Alexander, Waldron, Robbins, & Neeb, 2013). These behaviors can reduce family stress and build closeness, which, in turn, contribute to the growth and well-being of family members (Cox & Paley, 1997).…”

Family interactions are potential contexts for children with intellectual and learning disabilities to develop skillful social behaviors needed to relate effectively with peers. This study examined problem solving interactions within families of elementary school-age children (7–11 years) with intellectual disability (n = 37), specific learning disabilities (n =48), and without disabilities (n = 22). After accounting for group differences in children’s behaviors and peer acceptance, across all groups, mothers’ behaviors that encouraged egalitarian problem solving predicted more engaged and skillful problem solving by the children. However, mothers’ controlling, directive behaviors predicted fewer of these behaviors by the children. Fathers’ behaviors had mixed associations with the children’s actions, possibly because they were reactive to children’s unengaged and negative behaviors. For the children, greater involvement, more facilitative behaviors, and less negativity with their families were associated with greater acceptance from their peers, supporting family-peer linkages for children at risk for peer rejection.

“…FFPS is an integrative supervision and case management model for engaging, motivating, assessing and working successfully with high-risk youth and families and is based on Functional Family Therapy (FFT) (Alexander et al 2013;Alexander and Parsons 1982;Kopp and Medina 2009;Rowland 2009). The Vanguard method was used to start the development of IFCM based on a systems approach (Felser 2011;Seddon 2008), which was led by the principle of value work (Coret et al 2014).…”

Few evidence-based methods for case management in child protection and child welfare are available. That is why Youth Protection Amsterdam Area developed a new method, by integrating their best practices: Intensive Family Case Management (IFCM). Because IFCM was developed in practice, clarity about its core elements and behavior acts was lacking. The purpose of this study was to establish a valid operationalization of IFCM used for implementation purposes such as training, clinical supervision and monitoring. A 74-item draft was developed to describe the behavioral acts of IFCM, based on a literature study and analysis of internal documents and training. To ensure content validity, a Delphi study was conducted. Over two rounds, professionals (1) rated the behavioral acts needed in the application of IFCM on a five-point Likert scale and (2) provided their preferred terminology. Items with consensus ratings of 80 % or more were included in the final description. Selected IFCM experts rated the behavior acts over two rounds. The initial list with 74 behavior acts was reduced to 55 acts with a consensus of 80 % or more.Certain behavior acts were combined, others did not lead to consensus. Based on experts' feedback, the initial terminology of 46 behavior acts was modified. The final 55 acts were categorized in ten core elements. This study explicates the core elements of IFCM and describes the 55 necessary behavior acts in preferred and recognizable terminology. The study describes implications of these findings for the practice and gives recommendations for future research.

“…Estos comportamientos hacen referencia a acciones que implican la infracción de normas sociales y de convivencia, siendo éstas cuantitativamente y cualitativamente diferentes a otras conductas que aparecen en la vida diaria del adolescente. Bajo la etiqueta de conducta antisocial se contemplan acciones tan diferentes como hurto, vandalismo, piromanía, absentismo escolar, huidas de casa, agresiones, entre otras (Alexander, Waldron, Robbins, & Neeb, 2013;Kazdin & Buela-Casal, 1999;Seisdedos, 1988). Según Moffitt (1993) existen dos perfiles de adolescentes antisociales: (1) aquellos cuya conducta antisocial se limita a la adolescencia y (2) los jóvenes cuyos comportamientos antisociales escalan en frecuencia y severidad con los años, siendo persistentes en el curso de la vida.…”

PALABRAS CLAVE: intervención psicosocioeducativa adolescencia conducta antisocial programas basados en la evidencia profesionales RESUMEN: El objetivo de este estudio es explorar el trabajo que desde los Servicios Sociales Comunitarios de Huelva se está haciendo en el ámbito de la intervención de la conducta antisocial adolescente. El 47.83% de la totalidad de la población de profesionales de los centros sociales de la ciudad de Huelva participaron en este estudio transversal y de carácter descriptivo. Como técnicas de recolección de datos se utilizaron el formato de entrevista, una semiestructurada y otra abierta, y un cuestionario ad-hoc creado para esta investigación. Un total de tres programas, -GUIA, INGENIA y FAYME-, fueron identificados, y descritos de acuerdo con los estándares de calidad consensuados en la literatura para los programas basados en la evidencia. Los resultados apuntan que los programas cumplían en mayor medida los criterios relacionados con el enfoque ecológico, fundamentación teórica y condiciones de implementación de los programas, y en menor grado con aspectos relacionados con la evaluación de las intervenciones. Todos los programas fueron valorados muy positivamente por los profesionales, siendo el más destacado para el tratamiento de la conducta antisocial el programa GUÍA. En conclusión, este estudio permite describir en profundidad las intervenciones desarrolladas con adolescentes con conducta antisocial en Huelva y establece la necesidad de ampliar los recursos de intervención con adolescentes basándose en los criterios de los programas basados en la evidencia. eISSN: 1989-9742 © SIPS. DOI: 10.7179/PSRI_2018.32.07 http://recyt.fecyt.es/index.php/PSRI/ [90] [ ABSTRACT: This study explores the work done in the field of intervention of antisocial adolescent behavior by Community Social Services in Huelva (southern Spain). Forty-seven and eighty-three percent of the total population of professionals in the social centers of the city of Huelva participated in this transversal and descriptive study. We collected data using interviews, one semi-structured and one open-ended, and an ad-hoc questionnaire designed for this research. We analyzed three programs (GUIA, INGENIA and FAYME) in terms of the quality standards in the literature for evidence-based programs. The results indicated that, on the whole, the programs met the criteria related to the ecological approach, theoretical basis and conditions of implementation, but were weaker on intervention evaluation. In conclusion, this study provides an in-depth description of the interventions with adolescents with antisocial behavior in Huelva and underlines the need for more intervention resources with adolescents based on the criteria of evidence-based programs.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: intervenção psicoeducativa adolescência comportamento antissocial programas baseados na evidência profissionais RESUMO: O objetivo deste estudo é explorar o trabalho que estão a fazer os Serviços Sociais Comunitários de Huelva no âmbito da intervenção no comporta...
