Research
The PCIT-A manual being used in TTTC has already been translated into Japanese. Currently a PCIT treatment study is being conducted at TWMU to confirm the efficacy of PCIT for children and parents in Japan. The research group is also working on a translation of the PCIT original manual by Professor Sheila Eyberg and materials including DIPCS-III and ECBI, and normatization of the ECBI. A randomized controlled study is now in preparation.
