In a randomized controlled trial, the effectiveness of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and correlates of maltreatment outcomes were examined. Mothers (N = 150) had a history or were at high risk of maltreating their children. After 12 weeks and compared to waitlist, PCIT mothers were observed to have improved parent-child interactions and reported better child behavior and decreased stress. At PCIT completion, improvements continued and mothers reported less child abuse potential and had improved maternal sensitivity. Also, PCIT completers were less likely to be notified to child welfare than noncompleters. Finally, those families not notified post-PCIT showed greater reductions in child abuse potential and improvements in observed sensitivity during treatment. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
在一项随机对照试验中，考察了亲子互动疗法（PCIT）的有效性及其与虐待后果的相关性。母亲（N=150）有虐待儿童的历史或处于高风险之中。与候补组相比，12 周后，PCIT 组的母亲被观察到亲子互动有所改善，儿童行为得到改善，压力降低。在 PCIT 完成时，改善仍在继续，母亲报告的虐待儿童可能性降低，并且母亲的敏感性得到提高。此外，PCIT 完成组比未完成组更不可能被通知到儿童福利机构。最后，那些 PCIT 后未被通知的家庭在治疗过程中表现出更低的虐待儿童可能性和观察到的敏感性的提高。讨论了对理论和实践的影响。
