Parent–child interaction therapy (PCIT) is a form of behavioral-parent training developed by Sheila Eyberg for children ages 2–7 and their caregivers. It is related to the work of Rudolf Dreikurs who applied theories of individual psychology to parent-child interactions. PCIT is an evidence-based treatment (EBT) for young children with emotional and behavioral disorders that places emphasis on improving the quality of the parent-child relationship and changing parent-child interaction patterns.〔"PCIT International www.PCIT.org"〕 Disruptive behavior is the most common reason for referral of young children for mental health services and can vary from relatively minor infractions such as talking back to significant acts of aggression. The most commonly treated Disruptive Behavior Disorders may be classified as Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) or Conduct Disorder (CD), depending on the severity of the behavior and the nature of the presenting problems. The disorders often co-occur with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).〔 "Zisser, A., Eyberg, S. (2009). Parent-Child Interaction Therapy and the Treatment of Disruptive Behavior Disorders"University of Florida, Gainesville〕 It uses a unique combination of behavioral therapy, play therapy, and parent training to teach more effective discipline techniques and improve the parent–child relationship.〔''Parent–Child Interaction Therapy'', Hembree-Kigin, T. & McNeil, C., 1995, Springer, NY〕 Based on Diana Baumrind's developmental theory of parenting, PCIT teaches authoritative parenting as it is manifested in a combination of firm control, good communication, and nurturing behavior. PCIT draws on both attachment and social learning theories to achieve authoritative parenting.〔PCIT International www.PCIT.org〕 ==Stages of PCIT== PCIT is divided into two stages, relationship development (child-directed interaction) and discipline training (parent-directed interaction). Child-Directed Interaction (CDI) focuses on strengthening the parent-child attachment as a foundation for the second phase, Parent-Directed Interaction (PDI), which emphasizes structure and a consistent approach to discipline. Each phase begins with a single didactic session in which parents attend without their child, followed by a series of weekly coaching sessions for each phase. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Parent–child interaction therapy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
