Abstract: | The Differential Test of Conduct and Emotional Problems (DT/CEP) was utilized as a treatment outcome evaluation tool for the severely emotionally and behaviorally handicapped clients served by Specialized Youth Services of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. A significant change was found in both conduct problem and emotional disturbance scales, indicating improvement for both modalities over a nine-month period. No significant difference in improvement was indicated between males and females. The DT/CEP was established as a justified treatment evaluation tool, with attention given to cautions of scale interaction provided by the test authors (Kelly and Vitali, 1990). |
