Comorbidity , gender , age , number of sessions , duration , intervention type , setting , medication use or dropout percentage did not influence the effect of treatment .
CONCLUSIONS Psychological treatments have a small effect in reducing parent- , teacher- and observer-rated CD problems  in children and adolescents with clinical CD problems/diagnosis .
There is not enough evidence to support one specific psychological treatment over another .
Many reports failed to provide detailed information to allow optimization of psychological treatment strategies
BACKGROUND This meta- analysis evaluates the efficacy of nonpharmacological treatments for conduct disorder ( CD ) problems in children and adolescents , based on child , parent and teacher report .
Parenting Intervention for Externalizing Behavior Problems in Children Born Premature: An Initial Examination
Objective : To examine the initial efficacy of parent-child interaction therapy ( PCIT ) for treating  behavior problems in young children who were born premature . Method : In this r and omized , controlled trial , 28 children between the ages of 18 and 60 months , who were born < 37 weeks gestation and presented with clinical ly significant externalizing behavior problems , were r and omly assigned to an immediate treatment ( IT ) or waitlist ( WL ) control group . Results : After 4 months , children who received PCIT were reported by their mother to have less attention problems , aggressive behaviors , and externalizing and internalizing behavior problems , and they were observed to be more compliant to maternal comm and s than children in the WL group . In addition , mothers in the IT group interacted more positively with their child , reported lower parenting stress related to difficult child behavior and demonstrated improved parenting practice s compared with WL mothers . Behavior change maintained for 80 % of the IT children 4 months after treatment completion . Conclusions : This study demonstrates preliminary efficacy of PCIT for the treatment of behavior problems in young children who were born premature
