The impact of caregiver treatment satisfaction upon child and parent outcomes
ConclusionsOur findings support previous research that shows parental expectancies, including treatment satisfaction, are powerful mechanisms of treatment outcomes for children with disruptive behavior disorders as well as parental emotional health. Furthermore, parental expectancies may be enhanced by the involvement of families in the development of treatment approaches for children and a greater focus on caregiver emotional health for the benefit of the family as a whole.

A pilot randomized controlled trial comparing computer ‐assisted cognitive rehabilitation, stimulant medication, and an active control in the treatment of ADHD
ConclusionsImmediately after interventions, CACR improved certain simple executive functions (EFs) as much as active stimulant medication. On complex EFs, CACR was superior to active stimulant medication and PCACR. CACR reduced behavioral symptoms of ADHD more than active stimulant medication. However, at 3‐month follow‐up, maintenance of the CACR gains was weak. (Source: Child and Adolescent Mental Health)
