Abstract

This study examined real-life clinical services to the largest number of child participants in decades of mental health research. Archival data from 364 children aged 3 to 10Â years old served through a university-based community counseling clinic were examined. Researchers present descriptive data on children whose parents seek clinical services as well as outcome data on treatment effects. After treatment, results demonstrated statistical, practical, and clinical significance on reducing Internalizing and Externalizing Problems for children. The termination dropout rate in this study was 63.6%. Results are discussed concerning implications for clinical practice and further research.
