Parent-Child Interaction Therapy with Toddlers

Abstract

PCIT-T is a data-driven treatment approach. The ongoing collection of clinical data is necessary to inform ongoing treatment. Given the two primary treatment targets of (1) decreasing toddlers’ behavior difficulties and (2) improving parenting skills, assessment measures are required. Specific recommendations are provided regarding use of pre−/mid−/post assessment measures and include the use of the Dyadic Parent-Child Interaction Coding System (DPICS) as implemented in standard PCIT.
