Syftet med denna uppsats var att studera föräldrarnas upplevelser och erfarenheter av att delta i en föräldrautbildning. Studiens frågeställning var: Hur beskriver ett mindre urval föräldrar sina upplevelser och erfarenheter av att delta i parent training? För att besvara frågeställningen tillämpades en kvalitativ metod där djupintervjuer genomfördes med två föräldrapar och två ensamstående mödrar. Samtliga hade genomgått föräldrautbildningen parent training i regi av barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin under år 2004. Gemensamt för samtliga föräldrar var att de kände sig lugnare och mer trygga i föräldrarollen efter avslutad utbildning.
