PCIT is unique in its incorporation of both the parent and child within the treatment session, its use of live and individualized therapist coaching, and its tailoring of the process of changing the dysfunctional parent-child relationship to the specific interaction patterns of each parent-child dyad. PCIT is conducted in two phases: a Relationship Enhancement phase and a Discipline phase. Both phases of treatment are conducted within the context of an initial didactic training, followed by therapist coaching in dyadic play situations. PCIT is appropriate for children who are between the ages of 2 and 8 years old; are exhibiting chronic behavioral problems at home, school, preschool, or daycare; are currently living with one or both of their parents; and may be on medication to manage their behavioral problems. The CAARE Diagnostic and Treatment Center provides training for agencies to facilitate dissemination and replication of the PCIT treatment model. The training consists of four phases: review and consultation on the training plan and curriculum; instruction in the fundamentals of PCIT; intensive skill-building in conducting the two phases of PCIT; and continued advanced training for those who will train PCIT staff.
