Parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) is a behaviour-based, family oriented therapy designed to help improve the parent-child relationship through interaction. In this modality, children directed interaction can help facilitate the development of effective parenting techniques, and reductions in behaviour issues and may also lead to a stronger familial bond.
