Measures


As an assessment-driven treatment, PCIT is guided by weekly data from the ECBI and DPICS. These well-standardized instruments are supplemented by additional measures the clinician may select for careful tracking of individual presenting complaints of families during treatment. Below are descriptions and references for some key assessment tools used in PCIT.

Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI)
The ECBI is a 36-item parent report instrument used to assess common child behavior problems that occur with high frequency among children with disruptive behavior disorders. It is sensitive to changes with treatment and used to monitor weekly progress in PCIT. The ECBI manual and scoring sheets may be purchased online from  Psychological Assessment Resources, Inc.

Dyadic Parent-Child Interaction Coding System (DPICS)
The DPICS is a behavioral coding system that measures the quality of parent-child social interactions. It is used to monitor progress in parenting skills during treatment and provides an objective, well-validated measure of changes in child compliance after treatment. The manual presents many studies documenting the reliability and validity of individual DPICS categories. The DPICS (4th edition) is available in the PCIT Store.

Sutter-Eyberg Student Behavior Inventory-Revised (SESBI-R)
The SESBI-R is a 38-item teacher rating scale of child behavior problems at school. It contains two factors – oppositional behaviors and attention problems – that may be tracked separately to evaluate treatment generalization to the classroom. The SESBI-R manual and scoring sheets may be purchased on-line from  Psychological Assessment Resources, Inc.
