Parent-Child Interaction Therapy
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) helps strengthen your bond with your child while teaching proven techniques to manage behavior and build a healthier, more connected relationship. Here are our core treatment methods used in PCIT: 1. Child-Directed Interaction (CDI) This phase focuses on building a warm, secure relationship. Methods used: PRIDE Skills * Praise: Reinforcing positive behavior (“Great job sharing!”) * Reflection: Repeating what the child says to show understanding * Imitation: Copying the child’s play to build connection * Description: Narrating the child’s actions (“You’re stacking blocks”) * Enthusiasm: Showing genuine interest and excitement * Avoiding negative responses * No criticism, commands, or questions during play * Special playtime * Daily 5–10 minute one-on-one sessions led by the child Goal: Strengthen attachment and increase positive behavior naturally. 2. Parent-Directed Interaction (PDI) This phase teaches effective discipline and structure. Methods used: * Clear, direct commands * Simple, specific, and age-appropriate (“Please put the toy in the box.”) * Consistent consequences * Praise for compliance * Structured time-out for noncompliance * Follow-through * Parents learn to stay calm, firm, and consistent * Limit setting * Establishing predictable rules and expectations Goal: Improve listening, reduce defiance, and create consistent discipline. 3. Live Coaching (Real-Time Feedback) A defining feature of PCIT is in-the-moment coaching. Methods used: * Therapist observes from behind a one-way mirror or via video * Parent wears a bug-in-the-ear device * Therapist gives instant guidance * What to say * How to respond * When to reinforce or correct behavior Goal: Help parents master skills faster through practice—not just discussion. 4. Behavioral Tracking & Mastery-Based Progress. Progress is measured, not guessed. Methods used: * Therapists code behaviors during sessions (praise, commands, compliance) * Parents complete behavior rating scales * Advancement depends on skill mastery, not time Goal: Ensure real, measurable improvement before moving forward. 5. Homework & Daily Practice Parents apply skills outside therapy sessions. Methods used: * Daily special playtime (CDI practice) * Practicing commands and discipline strategies (PDI) * Consistency across home, school, and other settings Goal: Turn therapy skills into everyday habits. PCIT isn’t just talk therapy—it’s hands-on coaching that reshapes how parents and children interact in real time. The combination of relationship-building + structured discipline + live feedback makes it especially effective for children with behavioral challenges.
