This study was a qualitative analysis of indicators of caregiver engagement found to impact child response to trauma therapy. There is currently a dearth of research examining the different ways in which parents engage in their child’s trauma therapy as well as how this engagement affects treatment response. The current study used a Task Analysis to explore three “resolved” treatment cases and three “unresolved” cases. Children were between the ages of 6–18 undergoing trauma therapy at a children’s mental health facility in Canada. Cases were qualitatively analyzed for caregiver Positive Engagement Indicators (PEIs) and Negative Engagement Indicators (NEIs). Using an iterative process, four factors were identified as particularly impactful regarding treatment resolution. These factions included the presence of conflict between caregivers, therapists, and children, and low caregiver session attendance. Treatment implications were discussed
