亲子互动疗法 (PCIT) 的过程和效果在 18 个社会经济地位较差的非裔美国家庭中进行了研究，这些家庭的学龄前儿童患有破坏性行为障碍。母亲们报告说，孩子的破坏性行为有显着改善，但母亲的抑郁症状或养育压力却没有显着改善。流失率为 56%，最常发生在治疗前评估之后但治疗开始之前。结果表明，当家庭完成治疗后，PCIT 可能会给弱势非裔美国儿童带来积极的行为改变。招聘、敬业度和保留仍然是需要进一步研究的重要问题。减少养育压力也需要针对这一人群进行研究。
The course and efficacy of parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) were examined in 18 socioeconomically disadvantaged African American families of preschoolers with disruptive behavior disorders. Mothers reported significant improvements in child disruptive behavior but not in maternal depressive symptoms or parenting stress. Attrition was 56%, most often occurring after pre-treatment assessment but before treatment began. Results suggest that PCIT may lead to positive behavior changes for disadvantaged young African American children when families complete treatment. Recruitment, engagement, and retention remain significant problems requiring further study. Reduction of parenting stress also requires study in this population.
