Conduct disorder is one of the most serious and complex complications in school-aged children. This study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of efficient child-rearing training with the schema therapy approach and positive parenting training on the parent-child conflict in mothers of children with conduct disorders. The method of the current research was a quasi-experimental one with pre-test-post-test method plus a control group and a follow-up stage. The population included all mothers of students with conduct problems in the second grade of elementary school in Tehran in the academic year of 2020-2021. From this population, after the implementation of the Sprafkin test (the fourth edition) a sample of 60 participants (three groups of 20 people from mothers of children, including two experimental groups and one control group) were selected using the availability sampling. They were given Sprafkin children's behavioral syndrome questionnaire and the parent-child conflict questionnaire. The results were analyzed using repeated measurements analysis of variance. The results indicated that both interventions led to a significant reduction in parent-child conflicts. Also, there was no significant difference between their effectiveness. In general, the results revealed that efficient child-rearing training with schema therapy approach and positive parenting training has a significant effect on parent-child conflict.
