Description
Summary:Parents coming to a child guidance clinic reported behaviour in their children which they (parents) viewed as problems or symptoms. The first 55 families coming to a new clinic were selected as part of a programme to evaluate the effects of the clinic's services on its total caseload. A follow-up inquiry was made about the presenting symptoms six months after the family ceased attending the Center. The parental reports of improvement in the child's symptoms appeared to be related to the extent to which both parents participated in coming to the clinic: the child's age also had some relationship to reported improvement. The kind of service provided, and the number of contacts with the Center appeared to be unrelated to reported improvement.
