Study Details

The goal of this clinical trial is to see if 12 sessions of a Parent Management Training program can treat irritability in children aged 10-14 years old. The main question it aims to answer are: * Can a Parent Management Training for parents reduce anger outbursts and cranky moods in their children? * Can Parent Management Training be done in an outpatient clinic and do parents like it? Up to 18 families can join this study. This study will be used to set up a larger study in the Fall of 2025. Parent participants will complete 12 sessions of Parent Management Training for Irritability. Each session will be 45-55 minutes weekly. They will also participate in the assessments of their child before, during and after treatment. Child participants will do assessments before, during and after the Parent Management Training treatment.
