Parent-Child Interaction Therapy(PCIT) is a short-term, evidence-based parent training program for families with preschoolers experiencing behavioral, emotional, or family problems. Based on both attachment theory and social learning theory, parent training program of PCIT has two discrete phases, Child-Directed Interaction(CDI) phase and Parent-Directed Interaction(PDI) phase. In the child-directed interaction phase, PCIT focuses on changing the quality of the parent-child relationship; parents are taught nondirective interaction skills and art taught to increase warmth, responsiveness, attention, and praise during playtime with their child.. In the parent-directed interaction phase, PCIT focuses on increasing parental consistency, predictability and fairness in discipline. Treatment is guided by assessment and continues until parents master interaction skills and child behavior problems fall within the normal range. Research suggests that Parent-Child Interaction therapy(PCIT) works to improve the child’s behavior by changing the child-parent interaction. PCIT research also has provided evidence of efficacy, generalization, and maintenance. This study presents an overview of PCIT and discuss the further study.
