Effectiveness of a social skills training program using self/other perspective-taking: a nine-month follow-up

Am J Orthopsychiatry. 2000 Oct;70(4):501-9. doi: 10.1037/h0087662.

Abstract

Using a pre/posttest design, with a nine-month follow-up, a new, "modified" social skills training program, which incorporates the concept of self/other perspective-taking, was evaluated and compared to a traditional social skills program in a sample of 36 children. Students in the modified group showed more short- and long-term improvement in behavior than did those in the traditional social skills training group. Implications for practice and research are discussed.
