title: [Treatment failures and analysis of resistance in behavior therapy exemplified by a parent-child program for the treatment of hyperkinetic and oppositional children].
abstract: Resistance is a central concept of psychoanalysis, which is also increasingly regarded within behavior therapy. This article distincts resistance (an intervention is not accomplished) from failure (an intervention is accomplished but symptoms are not reduced) in behavior therapy. Using the example of a parent-child-program for the treatment of hyperactive and oppositional children potential causes for failure and resistance in behavior therapy are demonstrated and the analysis of failure and resistance is described. The consideration of these problems of implementation are an important prerequisite for the improvement of the efficacy of behavioral interventions.
