ResumoDeveloped in Holland and based on short‐term, home‐centered, filmed video feedback of family interactions, an experimental Orion project was conducted in Israel to determine whether it could be provided through local welfare departments as a routine treatment alternative. This article summarizes an evaluation of 52 families (with problems in parent‐child interaction) and 64 control families that participated in the Orion Video Home‐Training Project. Only the Orion families showed significant gains in all the eight areas of positive parent‐child communication that are the focus of the program, which is based on reinforcing potential family strengths. These gains were generally sustained 6 months after program completion. There were several background variables, such as family status, income, health, education, and employment, that influenced the extent of family gains.
