Between Developmental Wisdom and Children’s Social-Skills Training

Abstract

discusses the implications of a meta-analysis suggesting that social skills training (SST) is a moderately effective treatment approach for children with peer relationship and behavior problems / identifies several 'cleavages between theory and practice' that contribute to the variability of SST outcome findings after examining the validity of various theoretical assumptions underlying SST and how they inform intervention practices, Schneider illustrates how variables that are seemingly unrelated to theoretically based SST models of behavior change may actually influence treatment outcomes (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
