Abstract

We compared a research-based, manualized intervention called Helping the Noncompliant Child (HNC; McMahon and Forehand 2003) to treatment as usual (TAU) for 194 children, 3–9 years old, with disruptive behavior disorders in a community clinic. The two interventions did not produce different outcomes or levels of parent satisfaction. However, almost three times as many parents in the HNC condition stated they ended therapy because their goals had been met, and almost three times as many parents in TAU stated they terminated because of practical obstacles. Number of sessions was related to outcome in the HNC condition but not in TAU.
