Parent Child Interaction Therapy: Training for Professionals Who Work with High-Risk Families (Skills Seminar C)
Parent Child Interaction Therapy: Training for Professionals
Who Work with High-Risk Families
(Skills Seminar C)
Presenters introduce the seminar with an overview of an interpersonal/behavioral theoretical perspective on child physical abuse and then describe the ways in which Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is appropriate for high-risk and physically abusive families. In both the Relationship Enhancement and Discipline components of the PCIT program, parents are taught specific skills, given the opportunity to practice these skills during therapy, and then continue practicing skills until mastery is acquired and the child's behavior has improved. Clinical research finds PCIT to be effective in increasing parenting skills, decreasing child behavior problems, and enhancing parent-child relationships. Participants have an opportunity to practice basic PCIT skills in role-play format.
