5051.2 Outcomes of psychological group trainings in parents and teachers of children with
autism and hyperactive disorder, Paul Probst, Department of Psychology at the University of
Hamburg, Germany
The effects of three group trainings with parents and teachers of autistic and hyperactive children
were evaluated. The trainings focused on teaching child management skills. A total of 24 parents
of 23 autistic children, 10 teachers of 10 autistic children, and 6 consulting teachers of 11
hyperactive children participated in the 3-full day training programs. The outcomes were
measured by parent and teacher questionnaires. The group trainings resulted in significant positive
effects on child behaviours as well as parent and teacher stress reactions, with pre-post-effect sizes
being in the range of 0.60-0.80. These findings indicate some evidence for clinical validity.
5051.3 Psychological intervention for parents of paediatric cancer patients: A controlled
follow-up study, Krister K Boman, Childhood Cancer Research Unit, Karolinska Institutet,
Sweden
Parents are base-line assessed (T1) for disease-related stress with measures of illness-specific
stress, and psychological symptomatology. They are randomised to project-specific intervention
(PSI) or standard care/control. Intervention model is structured, problem-focussed, and
time-limited. Re-assessment at 12 (T2), and 30 (T3) months post-diagnosis. Theoretically, the PSI
complies with crisis-intervention, working through, and integration of a psychological trauma.
Preliminary findings: PSI increased parents’ ability to cope with life-situation, 83% found
intervention fulfilling expectations, 81% found it corresponding with their specific needs, 83%
reported overall satisfaction. Follow-up data shows that for certain symptoms the decrease in
intervention group exceeds the decrease among controls.
5051.4 Cross-cultural counseling and psychotherapy in Brazil: Acknowledgment of a plural
society, Sylvia Duarte Dantas DeBiaggi, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil
The present study explores theoretical and technical issues in cross-cultural counseling and
psychotherapy based on a recent program with immigrants and their descents at Universidade de S
Paulo. Brazil is a country known for its immigration history. In spite of its recent emigration
phenomenon, with Brazilians leaving the country for better opportunities abroad, immigrants
continue to arrive in Brazil, nowadays mostly from other Latin American countries, Korea and
China. Theoretical as well as technical challenges emerge in cross-cultural counseling and
psychotherapy indicating its important implications for the therapeutic work and the of
acknowledging our plural societies cultural and ethnic diversity.
