The PARQ examines the relationships between adolescents and parents and enables you to plan effective treatments through an understanding of the multifaceted adolescent-parent relationship.

Helps you to guide intervention and improve relationships

• Based on behavioral family systems therapy, the PARQ provides information organized into three domains (Overt Conflict/Skill Deficits, Beliefs, and Family Structure) that can help you determine the best mode of intervention.

• Allows you to emphasize problem-solving and communication skills, cognitive restructuring of extreme beliefs and distorted thinking, and/or specific problems in family functioning in subsequent interventions.

• Can be used to monitor the effectiveness of individual and family interventions through periodic readministration; as an outcome measure in treatment effectiveness research; and as a process measure in family interaction, adolescent development, and theoretical research.
