TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Innovations in Practice: the efficacy of nonviolent resistance groups in treating aggressive and controlling children and young people: a preliminary analysis of pilot NVR groups in Kent JO - Child and adolescent mental health A1 - Newman, Mary A1 - Fagan, Catrin A1 - Webb, Rebecca SP - 138 EP - 141 VL - 19 IS - 2 N2 - BACKGROUND: Conduct disorders and adolescent violence have been found to be a significant problem in the United Kingdom. METHOD: Nonviolent Resistance (NVR) Parenting Groups were piloted in Kent to address the demand on CAMHS for young people with this issue, and preliminary analysis on outcome measures was conducted. RESULTS: A significant difference in a positive direction was found on all but one of the measurements used. CONCLUSION: Findings suggest that using NVR methods in a group format is an effective intervention for these families. De-escalation and acts of unconditional love were rated by parents as the most useful interventions.
