Behavioral parent training (BPT) is a theory‐driven, evidence‐based, and widely used intervention strategy for preventing and decreasing children's disruptive behavior problems, indirectly via improved parenting behavior. However, not all families benefit equally from BPT. To date, our knowledge of who benefits (and who does not) and our understanding of why some families benefit more than others is limited. An important challenge for research and practice is finding ways to tailor interventions to the needs of an individual family and increase their effectiveness. We put forward family systems theory as a tool to gain more insight into which families (do not) benefit from BPT and why. We synthesize the theoretical foundations and empirical support for the putative mechanisms through which the functioning of family systems may explain BPT effectiveness and propose ways in which family systems theory can help strengthen the design, implementation, and evaluation of BPT programs.

从家庭系统的角度了解行为父母培训的不同有效性：家庭比“他们的某些部分”重要

行为父母培训（BPT）是一种理论驱动，循证且广泛使用的干预策略，可通过改善父母的行为间接预防和减少儿童的破坏性行为问题。但是，并非所有家庭都能从BPT中平等受益。迄今为止，我们对谁受益（谁不受益）的知识以及我们对某些家庭为何比其他家庭受益更多的理解仍然有限。研究和实践的一个重要挑战是寻找方法，使干预措施适应单个家庭的需求并提高其有效性。我们提出了家庭制度理论作为一种工具，可让您更深入地了解哪些家庭（不）受益于BPT以及为什么。我们为家庭系统的功能可以解释BPT有效性的推定机制综合了理论基础和经验支持，并提出了家庭系统理论可以帮助加强BPT程序的设计，实施和评估的方法。
