Descripción: This study examined the efficacy of conjoint behavioural consultation (CBC) with children evidencing conduct problems, the impact of CBC in enhancing parental knowledge of behavioural principles, and whether knowledge of behavioural principles is related to improved parenting skills. An A/B design was used and participants included 5 boys (ages 3, 3, 5, 5, and 6) and their parents. Children evidenced improvements in their target behaviours from baseline to treatment (effect sizes = -0.54 to -2.10). Overall, children's social skills increased (Reliable Change Indices [RCI] = -3.66 to 3.05), problem behaviours decreased, and externalizing difficulties decreased (RCI = -0.24 to -3.74). Parents used more praise, less critical statements, and less no-opportunity commands following treatment. Parental knowledge of behavioural principles improved significantly for 2 parents (RCI's = 0.00 to 8.77). Also, increased parental knowledge of behavioural principles was related to increased use of praise (r = 0.95, p < .05). Results are discussed in light of their practical and theoretical implications.
