PCIT-T is an intervention focused on increasing responsive, nurturing caregiving. It’s main focus is on improving positive relational skills.
There are two phases of PCIT-T:
– The first is child directed, we help parents learn to interact and play with their children in a positive, caring and nurturing way, helping them learn to attune to their children’s needs. It’s a very gentle approach and we assist parents in learning how to manage negative behavior with positive attention alone.
– The second phase, is parent directed and helps parents learn how to give effective directions and assist children in learning to follow through with these directives via a 4 step approach.
