F. Guerney and B. G. Guerney (1985) cited a study by Eardley (1978) reporting that CREFT without the dynamic processing component resulted in no greater gains than that produced by a no-treatment control group. Only the CREFT group that included dynamic processing made significant improvements. Phase 1 of CREFT is designed t o prepare parents for home play sessions, which were originally considered the primary mechanism of therapeutic change. However, a study by Sywulak (1977) indicated that considerable improvement in child symptomatology and parental acceptance occurs during Phase l prior t o home play sessions.
Influential here was Patterson and Forgatch’s (1985) early work on parent resistance, Safran’s (1990a, 1990b) integration of cognitive and interpersonal therapies, and the CREFT procedure of dynamic processing (L. F. Guerney & B. G. Guerney, 1985). Patterson and Forgatch’s work made it clear that practitioners cannot ignore the common therapeutic problem of parents resisting efforts to teach and confront. Safran’s therapeutic recommendations and the CREFT practice of dynamic processing suggested promising options for dealing with parent resistance.
Alhough the findings from these studies are encouraging, CREFT continues t o suffer from a lack of published research documenting its efficacy. As the quintessential example of the relationship enhancement model of parent training, CREFT departs widely from the BMPT model. Well-controlled outcome studies of CREFT that incorporate reliable, valid, and commonly used dependent measures are long overdue. Without stronger empirical support for relationship-enhancement approaches to parent training, clinicians cannot afford t o rely solely on CREFT to meet the needs of aggressive children and their families.
