Preliminary Analyses
Analyses examined whether participants in the three treatment
conditions differed at pretreatment on subject and demographic
characteristics as well as on measures of child and parent
functioning. Analyses of variance (ANOYAs) for continuous
variables and chi-square tests for categorical variables revealed
no differences among groups. Similar analyses yielded no reliable
differences as a function of therapist or Therapist X Treatment
condition (ps > .20) on pretreatment, posttreatment, or
follow-up measures. Hence, therapist was not included as a
factor in the evaluation of treatment.
