[Effectiveness of parent training for children with ADHD in routine clinical practice].
Studies on the effectiveness of parent trainings, especially for children treated with stimulants, yielded conflicting results. This study investigated the effectiveness of parent training (PT) as a part of routine clinical care. Compared to a waitlist control (n=16) PT-mothers (n=16) reported significantly fewer ADHD-symptoms, better acceptance of their children and a trend to better relationship satisfaction. No differences were found between children treated with or without stimulants. Contrary to the high level of consumer satisfaction fathers didn't report any improvements on all outcome domains.
