Parent-Child Interaction Training Program—(PCIT)
The goal of
Parent-Child Interaction Training (PCIT)
is to
teach parents of children from 2—7 years, how to build a warm and
mutually rewarding relationship with their child, to teach their
child desirable pro-social behaviors and to decrease their child’s
inappropriate behaviors.
The treatment program is a short term intervention
approach, approximately 12 weeks in length. The program utilizes
modeling, role-playing and coaching of parents to help then master
specialized skills that have been shown to be effective for managing
severe behavior problems in young children.
This therapy is conducted within the context of
natural play situations between a parent and child. This setting is
particularly important because play is the primary medium through
which young children learn new skills and work through developmental
problems. Call
