M.A. (Counselling Psychology ) / The purpose of this study was to design a model for the presentation of parent education programmes which stand in the traditional linear paradigm combined with elements from the circular systems paradigm, in order to minimise resistance and facilitate change in subjects. One such programme was used to illustrate the model. Certain aspects of both concepts are clarified in a detailed literature study, after which a model is constructed in which an integration of these aspects takes place. The model, placed within the framework of psycho-education, was duly tested by means of a case study. A detailed description of the sessions as well as analysis of the effectiveness of the sessions then follows. Finally, an evaluation of the model in practice is given with certain suggestions for further research. The final conclusion is that criteria for the effective training of parents within the linear paradigm are not necessarily effective within the systems paradigm.
