Compliance training as an intervention strategy for antisocial behaviour: A pilot study.

Abstract

In this chapter we discuss the concept of conduct disorder and its utility for behavioral clinical intervention. We outline treatment approaches such as parent management training, compliance training and planned activity programmes. We conclude with an example of these applied to the case of a 7-yr-old boy and his mother. The results indicate an increase in the mother's appropriate instruction giving, contingent attention, and correct programme implementation, and an increase in the child's compliance. Although these increases were rather small, they indicate that compliance training and planned activity programmes are a useful strategy for dealing with children who display antisocial behaviours in a pro-active, positive way.
