PCIT Research
The PCIT Research Task Force has compiled a comprehensive list of articles on PCIT and its related assessment instruments.
In 2023, a special issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health entitled "Parent-Child Interaction Therapy: Advances toward Health Equity" was provided to the community at no cost, and can be accessed here. The issue explores many important topics, including the use of PCIT principles to aid in feeding issues with young children, working with diverse populations, and reducing child maltreatment through implementation of PCIT skills.
At the 2019 PCIT International Convention, several Research in Brief presentations were delivered to summarize the current state of the PCIT literature related to specific related topics. Below are links to each of those summaries.
PCIT and Emotion Development PCIT and Trauma PCIT and Barriers to Graduation PCIT and Chronic Illness PCIT and Parental Mental Illness Physiological Variables and Disruptive Behaviors PCIT and Foster Parents PCIT and Parental Well-Being PCIT and Autism Spectrum Disorder The Iowa Blueprint Document is an excellent compendium of the current state of research-based early childhood mental health interventions.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has completed an in-depth review of PCIT Outcome Studies published between 1995 and 2011.
