Parental adherence to child psychologists' recommendations from psychological testing.

Abstract

Nonadherence to prescribed regimens is a significant cause of treatment failure across pediatric andpsychological/psychiatric childhood conditions. Although a modest literature exists for medical condi-tions, the literature on adherence to psychologists’ recommendations is sparse. We review the extantliterature on this topic, highlighting areas for further study and intervention. Implications for policy andthe practice of psychoeducational assessment are also discussed.
