Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>This pilot study examined the effectiveness of child parent relationship therapy (CPRT; Landreth &amp; Bratton, <xref ref-type="link" rid="jcad160-bib-0036">2006</xref>) with 61 adoptive families. Statistically significant findings and large treatment effects on all measures indicated the effectiveness of CPRT over the wait‐list control condition on reducing child behavior problems and increasing parental empathy. The results provide preliminary support for CPRT as a responsive intervention for adoptive families with children presenting with attachment difficulties.</p> </abstract>
