Abstract
This issue brief is intended to build a better
understanding of the characteristics and
benefits of PCIT. It was written primarily to
help child welfare caseworkers and other
professionals who work with at-risk families
make more informed decisions about when to
refer parents and caregivers, along with their
children, to PCIT programs. This information
may also help parents, foster parents, and
other caregivers understand what they and
their children can gain from PCIT and what
to expect during treatment. This brief also
may be useful to others with an interest in
implementing or participating in effective
parent-training strategies.
