Note. M = Mean; SD = Standard Deviation; CBCL = Child Behavior Checklist; ECBI = Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory; PSI = Parenting Stress Index; DPICS = Dyadic Parent–Child Interaction Coding System; CLP = Child-led play situation; PLP = Parent-led play situation; CU = Clean-up situation; CCR = Child compliance ratio; d = (MpostMpre) / SDpre, where Mpost was the mean value at post-treatment or at follow-up, Mpre was the mean value at pre-treatment, and SDpre was the standard deviation at pre-treatment.
