Parent management training has demonstrated effectiveness in the treatment of child behavioural issues and associated conduct difficulties. Anger, aggression, and irritability are common symptoms amongst children presenting with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. Currently, there are no well-established evidence-based interventions for children presenting with symptoms of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. This pilot study aims to assess if a standard, well-established, parent management training program (group Triple P) may be effective in addressing disruptive mood dysregulation disorder symptoms. Thirteen parents of children who presented with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder or subthreshold symptoms completed the Triple P behavioural management program (Level 4). Post-treatment, parents reported no significant change on childhood irritability. However, parents noted significant improvement on child overt aggression, behavioural difficulties and an increase in child pro-social behaviours. Despite the many limitations inherent in this pilot study, results suggest that standard parent management training may be useful in addressing overt aggression but not irritability.

家长管理培训已证明在治疗儿童行为问题和相关行为困难方面的有效性。在表现出破坏性情绪失调症的儿童中，愤怒，攻击性和易怒是常见的症状。当前，对于表现出破坏性情绪失调障碍症状的儿童，没有完善的循证干预措施。这项初步研究旨在评估标准的，完善的父母管理培训计划（Triple P组）是否可以有效解决破坏性的情绪失调障碍症状。表现出破坏性情绪失调障碍或亚阈值症状的13名儿童父母完成了Triple P行为管理计划（4级）。后处理 父母报告说，儿童烦躁没有明显变化。但是，父母指出，儿童的公开攻击，行为困难和亲社会行为的增加有显着改善。尽管该试点研究固有许多局限性，但结果表明，标准的父母管理培训可能有助于解决明显的侵略行为，但对解决烦躁问题却无济于事。
