Weekly reports of high-risk indicators designed to monitor the course of treatment were obtained from physically abused, school-aged children and their parents/guardians who were randomly assigned to Individual Child and Parent Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment (CBT) or Family Therapy (FT). Measures of parental anger and physical discipline/force, and family problems were obtained each session. The measures showed moderate stability and parent-child correspondence. Between 20% and 23% of the two informant's reports acknowledged high levels of physical discipline/force during the early and late phases of treatment, respectively, and an even higher percentage of cases reported heightened parental anger and family problems. Early treatment reports from both informants predicted late period reports, but only parent reports were related to validity measures. The overall levels of parental anger and physical discipline/force were lower in CBT than FT families, though each group showed a reduction on these items from the early to late treatment sessions. The importance of routine monitoring of clinical course during intervention, especially in the identification of cases at-risk of reabuse, is discussed.
