The subjects were assessed by Alcohol Abuse CopingResponse Inventory (AACRI) and morphine tests before treatment,randomly during treatment, after treatment, and after a 3-monthfollow-up stage. The data was analyzed using2test, MultivariateAnalysis of Covariance (MANCOVA), and covariance analysis(ANCOVA).Results: The2 test results showed that there was a significantdifference between experimental and control groups in terms ofrelapse rate. Moreover, the results of MANCOVA and ANCOVAwere indicative of a significant difference between the two groups incoping skills enhancement at posttest and follow up stages.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of three therapeutic programs including parents encouraging training (based on Adler-Dreikurs approach), behavioral training, and pharmacotherapy for increasing self-control among children with attention deficit/hyperactive disorder (ADHD). In this experimental study, 40 parents of students referred to Rouzbeh Psychiatric Hospital were diagnose according to a psychiatrist diagnosis and utilizing Conners scale for ADHD. Covariance and F score analysis revealed a significant difference among the three methods indicating that parents encouraging training method, and parents behavioral training based on Barkleys theory are both effective for increasing self–control skills in ADHD children. We can conclude that parents encouraging training and parent behavioral training are effective in improving self-control in ADHD children.
