Information from parents
This includes a developmental and psychiatric his-
tory, exploring symptoms and behaviour in detail.
Asking for examples of the behaviour often illus-
trates the severity of problems and the level of
impairment. The clinician should ask the parents
to explain what they think could be causing the
problems and their attitude to treatment. Finally,
completion of rating scales such as the Conners
Parental Rating Scale [11] provides baseline infor-
mation on symptoms and can also be used to
monitor treatment response.
