童年时期的破坏性行为是将儿童转介给心理健康专业人员的最常见原因之一。家长行为培训 (BPT) 是针对这些问题行为最有效的干预措施，但在大学研究和临床环境之外，BPT 的利用基本上没有得到充分利用。为了解决这一研究与实践之间的差距，本文强调了技术在克服阻碍 BPT 传播的两个最紧迫挑战方面所具有的巨大但基本上尚未实现的潜力：(1)。为有破坏性行为的儿童家庭提供服务的治疗师缺乏 BPT 培训和监督机会；和（2）。当提供 BPT 服务时，未能吸引和留住家庭。为此，本综述提出了指导 BPT 技术创新的理论框架，并重点介绍了目前如何利用技术来克服这些挑战的示例。本综述还讨论了使用技术作为交付工具进一步推进 BPT 领域的建议，并讨论了 BPT 技术创新对儿童心理健康其他领域的潜在影响。 (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Disruptive behaviors of childhood are among the most common reasons for referral of children to mental health professionals. Behavioral parent training (BPT) is the most efficacious intervention for these problem behaviors, yet BPT is substantially underutilized beyond university research and clinic settings. With the aim of addressing this research-to-practice gap, this article highlights the considerable, but largely unrealized, potential for technology to overcome the two most pressing challenges hindering the diffusion of BPT: (1). The dearth of BPT training and supervision opportunities for therapists who work with families of children with disruptive behaviors; and (2). The failure to engage and retain families in BPT services when services are available. To this end, this review presents a theoretical framework to guide technological innovations in BPT and highlights examples of how technology is currently being harnessed to overcome these challenges. This review also discusses recommendations for using technology as a delivery vehicle to further advance the field of BPT and the potential implications of technological innovations in BPT for other areas of children's mental health are discussed.
