Joe +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Parent-Child Interaction Therapy: Advanced Training Workshop July 11-12, 2005 Dept. of Psychology Life Sciences Building town, WV Dr. Cheryl B. McNeil West Virginia University Department of Psychology PO Box 6040 town, WV 26506-6040 304-293-2001, ext. 31677 Parent-Child Interaction Therapy Early intervention for children with severe behavior problems is a national priority. This workshop presents advanced techniques in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), an intervention that has documented effectiveness for helping parents manage aggression and defiance in young children (2 to 7 years). PCIT is unique in that it is a short-term parent training approach that involves direct coaching of parent- child interactions. Parents receive immediate feedback in such areas as praising appropriate behavior, interacting at the child’s developmental level, ignoring inappropriate behavior, giving good instructions, and teaching children to stay in timeout. In PCIT, behavioral techniques are integrated with traditional play therapy skills to enhance parent-child relationships. This workshop will appeal to mental health professionals who are using PCIT in their practices but would like to learn about new advances and obtain more systematic training in coaching and coding techniques. Educational Objectives Videotape review, slides, handouts, observing/participating in clinical work with volunteer families, and experiential exercises will be used to address the following learning objectives: Mastering play therapy skills and coaching techniques for enhancing parent-child relationships Mastering discipline skills and coaching techniques, with particular emphasis on making timeout effective for aggressive preschoolers and physically abusive parents Mastering coding skills to insure that parents are reaching the mastery criteria Level of Instruction The material will be presented at an intermediate to advanced level. Participants are expected to have used PCIT in practice and to have read the treatment manual (Hembree-Kigin & McNeil, 1995). All participants are required to have at least a Master’s Degree and/or to be credentialed to provide therapy to children and families. Because each therapist will receive direct supervision, the workshop will be limited to approximately 8 therapists.
