treatment for abusive parents

["Sandi McLeod" <mcleods@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Janet Chiancone,

I saw your message on the Cornell listserv.  Have you seen the 
journal article by D. J. Kolko, Nov. 1996, "Individual Cognitive 
Behavioral Treatment and Family Therapy for Physically Abused 
Children and Their Offending Parents:  A Comparison of Clinical 
Outcomes"?  It resulted from an NCCAN funded grant, 90CA1459, and it 
appeared in the journal  "Child Maltreatment", 1 (4): 322-342.

In conducting a preliminary search of our database, I also found a 
few citations that may be of interest to you.  One is a 
chapter, "The Assessment and Treatment of Violent Families" by 
Blau, Dall, and Anderson, 1993, in a book entitled, "Family 
Violence.  Prevention and Treatment//Issues in Children's and 
Families' Lives" edited by Hampton, Gullotta, Adams, Potter, and 
Weissberg.

Another is a journal article, "Preliminary Results of Aggression 
Management Training for Aggressive Parents" by Acton and During, 
1992, in the "Journal of Interpersonal Violence".

And, finally, there is a chapter, "Treating Abusive Parents in 
Outpatient Settings" by Otto, 1990, in a book entitled "The Clinical 
Treatment of the Clinical Offender in Outpatient Mental Health 
Settings:  New and Emerging Perspectives", edited by Pallone and 
Chaneles.
