在多系统治疗（MST）的背景下，研究了父亲参与治疗、青少年结局和母亲抑郁之间的关系。多系统治疗是一种经验支持的、针对反社会青少年的家庭和社区治疗。从提供MST的五个心理健康机构招募了99个家庭。我们比较了父亲参与治疗（PIT）的家庭与没有父亲参与治疗（NPIT）的家庭在青少年外化和内化行为以及母亲抑郁的前后变化方面的差异。两组的外化和内化行为都有显著的减少。然而，PIT家庭的改善幅度明显更大。两组母亲的抑郁程度都显著降低，但没有发现明显的组间差异。结果表明，如果可能的话，应鼓励父亲角色积极参与治疗，因为当母亲和父亲角色一起参与MST时，青少年的结局会得到提高。(C) 2011年青少年服务专业人员基金会。Elsevier Ltd.出版。版权所有。
The association between paternal involvement in therapy, adolescent outcomes and maternal depression was examined within the context of Multisystemic Therapy (MST), an empirically supported, family- and community-based treatment for antisocial adolescents. Ninety-nine families were recruited from five mental health agencies providing MST. We compared families with paternal involvement in therapy (PIT) to families with no paternal involvement in therapy (NPIT) in pre-post change in adolescents' externalizing and internalizing behaviours and also in maternal depression. There was a significant reduction in both groups in externalizing and internalizing behaviours. However, the magnitude of improvement was significantly greater for the PIT families. Both groups saw a significant reduction in maternal depression but no significant group differences were found. Results suggest that if possible, paternal figures should be encouraged to actively participate in therapy, as adolescents outcomes are enhanced when mothers and paternal figures participate in MST together.
