3. Résumé

«In this pilot study of a high-risk day and evening hospital sample, child outcomes revealed improved CBCL [Child Behaviour Checklist] scores on both the internalizing and externalizing dimensions between T1 and T2. Significant changes were identified in family functioning of the completer cohort between T1 and T2 with improvement on specific scores of cohesion, expressiveness, enhanced intellectual-cultural orientation and improved family organization. Our results suggest that mothers with a secure attachment style, intact families and those with higher socioeconomic status, as well as those who develop a therapeutic alliance with the treating team, were more likely to complete the study measures. The complex interaction of attachment capacity, therapeutic alliance and child and family variables requires further study to distinguish the contribution of these factors to treatment outcome.» (p. 201)
