CLINIC FOR PAEDIATRIC AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRY

Evaluation of a Parent-Child Ward

Evaluation of a parent-child ward
In December 2008, the first parent-child ward in Saxony-Anhalt was opened at Clinic in Magdeburg. This form of parent-child treatment, in which the parents are included, is currently only practiced in a few child and adolescent psychiatries in Germany. The model ward offers treatment places f
or five children with their parents who accompany them during their stay in the clinic. The treatment offer is aimed at families with children aged 1 ½ - 8 years. The flexibly designed treatment concept (full inpatient and/or day clinic) combines different therapy approaches with a focus on parent-child interaction and includes individual and group offers for parents, children and the entire family.

Parent-child treatment is divided into a 3-week diagnostic phase, after which the families are usually released back into the home environment for a certain period of time, and a 5-week therapy phase. After discharge, an outpatient follow-up visit is arranged with the families. This is organized in the form of specific aftercare groups and takes place two, six and 12 months after the end of treatment.

In order to evaluate the effect of this therapeutic approach more precisely, standardized procedures are used to examine child problem behavior as well as parental stress and parenting behavior. The results obtained so far speak for a lasting effectiveness of the short-term therapy. After completion of the therapy phase, a reduction of child behavioral problems and parental stress life was observed.
