Over the past two decades, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
emerged as a leading-edge method for helping parents improve their
children's disruptive and oppositional behavior. Today, PCIT has a
robust evidence base; is used across the country in settings as
diverse as hospitals, mental health centers, schools, and mobile
clinics; and is rapidly gaining popularity in other parts of the
world. In keeping with this increasing recognition of PCIT's
effectiveness, the authors of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy
present this expanded clinical edition to keep readers up to date
on new practice developments, current treatment protocols, and the
latest research findings. This update retains the fundamentals as
detailed by PCIT's founder, Dr. Sheila Eyberg, including an
overview of the therapy, detailed description of the course of
treatment, and handout materials. The text goes further to explore
the evolution of PCIT outside the original target ages of
three-to-six (including preventive PCIT for very young children at
risk) and examines the use of PCIT with special child populations,
such as abuse victims and those with ADHD. Contributing experts
discuss uses of the therapy in school, at home, with minorities,
and with highly stressed families. But regardless of the
population, setting, or topic covered, interventions remain
faithful to basic PCIT principles and methods. New features of the
expanded second edition include: Adaptations of PCIT for babies,
toddlers, preteens, and siblings. Applications for abuse survivors,
children with developmental disabilities, ADHD, and severe
aggression problems. Uses of PCIT with separating or divorced
parents. Culturally relevant PCIT for ethnic minority and
international families. Teacher-child, staff-child, and home-based
applications. PCIT training guidelines. A brand-new chapter
summarizing current research supporting PCIT. As PCIT broadens its
scope, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Second Edition, brings
innovative ideas and proven techniques to clinical child
psychologists, school psychologists, and other mental health
providers working to enhance the lives of children and their
families.
