Abstract
|
|
|
The paper is based on a pilot study to verify the effectiveness of the Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). The PCIT is an evidence-based treatment for behavioral and emotional problems of young children, which stresses parent-child relations and interactions. Subjects were 19 pairs of mothers and children aged two to six years who belonged to the semi-clinical range in at least one domain among internalization, externalization, and general behavioral problems of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). They participated in the one-hour PCIT program for 26 sessions per week on average. In order to measure changes in behavioral problems of the children, parenting stress of their mothers, and parent-child interaction, the CBCL, Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory, Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF), and Dyadic Parent-Child Interaction Coding System (DPICS) were performed. The findings are: (1) there was a significant decrease in behavioral problems of the children after the treatment; (2) parenting stress of the mothers decreased significantly; and (3) significant decrease and increase were found in the use of negative and positive language respectively by the mothers when they had interactions with their children. The PCIT helped mothers accept their children, having a positive effect on mother-child relations. This study is very meaningful in that it provides empirical evidence to support the effectiveness of
parenting skill coaching for mothers on reduction of behavioral problems of children and parenting stress of mothers.
