Background: Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is one of the behavioral disorders which causes significant clinical disorder in a person's academic, social, and occupational functioning. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of transactional behavior analysis training on parent-child relationships in mothers with children suffering from defiant disobedience in Isfahan. Methods: The design of this study was semi-experimental with a pretest-posttest approach and two experimental and control groups. The statistical population of this study included all mothers with children afflicted with defiant disobedient and their children in Isfahan in 2017. The sampling method was a multi-stage cluster sampling. Thirty students whose scores in the CSI-4 questionnaire were high and had oppositional disobedience symptoms were randomly selected, and 15 individuals were placed in the experimental group and 15 individuals in the control group. Then, the mothers of the experimental group underwent 8 sessions of 90 minutes, each week one session, during a group training of transactional analysis, but the control group did not receive any interventions. The research tool was Fine's Parent-Child relationship questionnaire. Results: The results showed that the group transactional behavior analysis training on parent-child relationships and its components, including positive affect, role disturbance, and imitation, had a significant effect. Conclusion: Considering that the transactional behavior analysis training can increase the extent of interactions, it has critical developmental consequences. Therefore, it seems that in clinical situations, by doing these kinds of interventions and promoting the mental health of the parents, positive and lasting steps can be taken to eliminate or relieve children's behavioral problems. |
