of Group 1 mothers participated in a parent group that
occurred simultaneously with a sibling group. Mothers were
randomly assigned to participate in a parent/sibling group,
a sibling only group, or a wait-list group. Intervention
efficacy was assessed using Study 1 measures plus measures
designed specifically for the intervention. Overall results
of study 2 indicated that mothers in the deluxe intervention
perceived their parenting of the siblings to have improved
after the intervention when compared to the standard and
wait-list groups. This suggested that concurrent
mother/sibling intervention provided the mothers with
beneficial information and contributed to their enhanced
sense of competence about parenting the siblings. In
addition, mothers in the deluxe intervention perceived their
family environment and the behaviors of the sibling to get
worse at post-intervention, but return to baseline over
time. This suggests that the intervention may have
initially brought some difficulties to the surface that were
resolved over time. Results will be discussed with their
implications for further research and clinical intervention.
