Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a parent-child treatment program that helps parents of children aged 2-7 years old with common behavioral problems (aggression, non-compliance, defiance, and temper tantrums). PCIT focuses on promoting positive parent-child relationships and interactions while teaching parents effective child management skills.
PCIT has been adapted as an intervention for many different types of families (child welfare population, “at-risk” families, adoptive families, foster families, and other languages including Spanish and Chinese).
