A comparison of day treatment and outpatient treatment for children with disruptive behaviour problems.
The authors explored the relative merits of outpatient and day treatment for 30 children with severe behaviour problems. The effectiveness of treatment on behaviour, self-perception, and social and family functioning was assessed. Day treatment was found to be more effective in reducing behaviour problems, alleviating depressive symptoms, increasing social skills and improving family functioning.
