Springer Parent-Child Interaction Therapy by Cheryl Bodiford McNeil, Toni L. Hembree-Kigin
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._x000D__x000D_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._x000D__x000D_New features of the expanded second edition include:_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Adaptations of PCIT for babies, toddlers, preteens, and siblings._x000D_Applications for abuse survivors, children with developmental disabilities, ADHD, and severe aggression problems. _x000D_Uses of PCIT with separating or divorced parents._x000D_Culturally relevant PCIT for ethnic minority and international families._x000D_Teacher-child, staff-child, and home-based applications._x000D_PCIT training guidelines._x000D_A brand-new chapter summarizing current research supporting PCIT._x000D__x000D_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._x000D_ Table of contents :- _x000D_
