Course Description
This course requires the Participant to read and understand the attached article pertaining to Parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT). PCIT is a family-centered treatment approach for abused and at-risk children ages 2 to 8 and their caregivers. Upon completion of this course, Participants will have a comprehensive understanding of fundamental aspects and purported benefits of PCIT.
In Parent-Child Interaction Therapy With At-Risk Families, Participants will begin with an overview of PCIT by considering that PCIT: reduces behavior problems in young children by improving parent-child interaction; treats the parent and child together; decreases the risk for child physical abuse and breaks the coercive cycle; offers support for caregivers; uses live coaching; and is accompanied by a few limitations. Next, Participants will explore the key components of PCIT by addressing Phase I, Phase II and assessments. Additionally, Participants will learn about the effectiveness of PCIT by looking at research findings from outcome studies and recognition from expert groups as an evidence-based practice. Finally, Participants will review suggested considerations when implementing PCIT in a child welfare setting.
This course is intended to provide child welfare professionals, mental health professionals and social workers with an overview of the family-centered treatment approach known as PCIT.
