Abstract

The article focuses on the effectiveness of Multisystemic Therapy for Child Abuse and Neglect (MST-CAN) in reducing child neglect and associated problems in Switzerland. Research conducted at the University of Fribourg involving 143 parent-child dyads found significant reductions in social worker-assessed neglect and child problems, although neglectful parenting and psychological control did not show significant decreases. The study emphasizes the importance of targeting psychological control and utilizing multi-method assessments of parenting behaviors to enhance outcomes. Financial support for the research was provided by various psychiatric services in Switzerland. [Extracted from the article]
