Ending Relationships

Area of Science:

  • Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Parent-child relationship quality significantly influences child mental health.
  • Existing assessment methods often rely on time-consuming behavioral observations.
  • A need exists for efficient, multiperspective tools to evaluate parent-child dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a multiperspective questionnaire for assessing parent-child relationships.
  • To create a user-friendly instrument for clinical settings.
  • To evaluate relationship quality from the perspectives of mothers, therapists, and assistant therapists.

Main Methods:

  • Development of 18 items by experts in parent-child interaction treatment.
  • Data collection from 129 mother-child dyads at a psychiatric family day hospital.
  • Principal component analyses for factor identification, supported by validity measures (PIRGAS, SCL-90-R, CBCL/1.5-5, C-TRF/1.5-5).

Main Results:

  • A stable two-factor structure emerged: "Affective Bond" and "Functional-Conflict".
  • The questionnaire demonstrated high internal consistency and retest-reliability.
  • Validity was supported by significant correlations with expert ratings, psychopathology measures, and therapy outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • The Multiperspective Parent-Child Relationship Questionnaire (M-PCR) is a valid and reliable instrument.
  • It provides a user-friendly method for assessing parent-child relationship quality in clinical contexts.
  • The M-PCR effectively captures different perspectives on the parent-child relationship.
