The objective of this training is to provide intense, focused instruction in Parent Management Training. PMT is an evidence-based program that has a 78% success rate in significantly improving behavior problems in children diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder. As a result of attending, participants will be able to:
- set up positive reinforcement programs to strengthen pro-social behaviors
- teach parents to use mild, effective punishment techniques to decrease mild to severe aggression
- help parents increase overall child compliance
- set up and maintain effective positive reinforcement programs
- help parents reduce their child’s whining, complaining and other annoying behaviors through shaping
- improve parent-child interactions
The course is intended for professionals interested in implementing Parent Management Training (PMT) in clinical practice. Under the direction of Alan E. Kazdin, Ph.D., ABPP, the course will be presented by certified specialists in PMT from the Yale Parenting Center. Upon completion of the course, participants will receive 7 continuing education credits. The course is approved by the American Psychological Association and the National Association of Social Workers.
Continental breakfast and a complimentary copy of “Parent Management Training” included. The course will begin with an introduction by Dr. Alan Kazdin, followed by a book signing opportunity. Accommodations at the Study are available at the discounted price of $189/night. Click here to register!
I was impressed by the progress a 6 y.o. patient of mine made with Parent-Child Interactive Therapy in New York City. I’d be interested in getting some training, and wondered whether your training is similar to that New York model. Is is appropriate for work with children over the age of 7? Thank you.
