Workshop Description: This presentation will introduce the participant to Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), an evidence-based parenting intervention. We will explain its procedures- what happens in PCIT, how it happens, as well as why it has proven effective for families in hundreds of research studies. We will talk about the application of this intervention to traumatized children, with specific attention to the benefits and challenges of referring child welfare families and families at risk of entering the child welfare system to PCIT.
