Parent–Child Interaction Therapy with Toddlers in a community‐based setting
Improvements in parenting behavior, emotional availability, child behavior, and attachment
Bibliographic Data
Parent–Child Interaction Therapy with Toddlers (PCIT‐T) is a new attachment‐based parenting intervention designed to meet the needs of children aged 12–24 months presenting with challenging behaviors. This study examined outcomes of the first phase of PCIT‐T, Child Directed Interaction–Toddler (CDI‐T), 4‐months post treatment. Participants were 56 toddlers (Child M age = 19.13 months) referred to receive CDI‐T over an 8‐week period at an Australian community‐based child behavior treatment clinic for treatment of difficult toddler behaviors. Participants completed questionnaires and observational measures at baseline (Time 1), post‐treatment (Time 2), and 4‐month follow‐up (Time 3). At both Time 2 and Time 3, there were statistically significant increases in observed positive parenting skills and emotional availability and decreases in negative parenting behaviors and child noncompliance. There were also significant improvements in parent‐reported child externalizing and internalizing behaviors, parental stress, and maternal depression. There was a pattern of a shift away from attachment insecurity and attachment disorganization. Results suggest that the CDI‐T phase of PCIT‐T is a promising intervention for toddlers presenting with behavioral issues. Future studies should be conducted to assess efficacy in other settings, using larger samples and utilizing randomized controlled designs
