“…In another study, videotapes that targeted specific self‐monitoring increased symptom knowledge and facilitated change (Brown, Duchin, & Villagomez, 1992). Other findings have indicated that videotapes enhance patients' short‐term knowledge, decrease anxiety, and are especially effective in teaching people with decreased cognition, depression, or low literacy (Herrmann & Kreuzer, 1989; Meade, 1996; O'Dell, Mahoney, Horton, & Turner, 1979; O'Dell et al, 1982).…”

Brief, recurrent, reactive, or situational depression is a common and costly comorbidity that affects chronically ill patients and their family members. This article describes a program that teaches those individuals how to monitor and cope with symptoms of depression by writing daily in a journal. Twenty patients and family members attended teaching sessions at which videotaped scenes of other patients managing symptoms of depression were shown. After viewing the six scenes, participants wrote about their reactions to each scene and listed the emotions they had experienced that were similar to those shown in the tape. They were then asked to record daily for 4 months their emotions and reactions to situations and to also daily self-rate their levels of energy. They were also provided with a list of recommended activities in which to engage when they were depressed. Two psychiatric nurses evaluated the writings and concluded that the program was influential in helping patients and families overcome many emotionally draining reactions to adverse circumstances.

This study examined the efficacy of training paz'ents in skills of child management. The parents had all sought help in coping with their pre-sohool children, and under. stood that training would be based upon social learning! behavioural principles.A pilot study, which compared the progress of five children visited at home and six whose parents were in weekly telephone contact with the author, gave encouraging results. Thirty seven children, six girls and thirty one boys, were then randomly allocated to one of four methods of training: group, home visit, telephone or waiting list! delayed intervention control. Participants in the three active intervention conditions were assessed pre-and postintervention. Participants in the waiting list/delayed intervention condition were assessed before and after an eight-weeks waiting period; they were then randomly reallocated to one of the three active intervention methods. Seven children were lost during the study, leaving thirty.Results indicated clinical improvement for all three active intervention conditions compared to the waiting list control condition. There were no significant differences between any of the three active intervention methods, either at post-intervention or at twelve to eighteen months follow-up. The results are discussed in terms of their theoretical and practical implications.iii CONTENTS

“…O 'Dell, Mahoney, Horton, and Turner's (1979) findings are consistent with those of Nay (1975) and Flanagan et al (1979). O'Dell et al (1979) randomly assigned 51 mothers and 9 fathers to a no-training control of one or four Time Out training conditions: a written manual group, a training film group, a film plus behavioral rehearsal group, and a live modeling plus behavioral rehearsal condition. Following training, all participants were individually placed in a room with a 5-year-old confederate of the experimenters and told to respond to the child as if he or she were their own.…”

“…Parents's responses to the four standard problem behaviors acted out by the child were scored in accordance with 16 Time Out rules. O'Dell et al (1979) found that parents who viewed the film or who viewed the film and rehearsed the behavior were superior to parents in the other training conditions.…”
