COVID-19及其缓解传播的相关努力极大地改变了现代儿童的结构和可预测性，导致人们越来越担心儿童可能特别容易受到严重心理健康后果的影响。世界范围内的居家指令以及医疗保健政策和报销方面的紧急变化，为广泛实施基于技术的儿童远程心理健康服务铺平了道路。亲子互动治疗（PCIT）特别适合解决压力时期出现的一些最紧迫的儿童和家长需求，而PCIT的远程医疗形式，如互联网提供的PCIT (iPCIT)，已经在对照试验中得到了支持。本评论探讨了COVID-19公共卫生危机期间PCIT的实施情况，以及在向互联网提供服务的过程中遇到的挑战。
COVID-19 and related efforts to mitigate its spread have dramatically transformed the structure and predictability of modern childhood, resulting in growing concerns children may be particularly vulnerable to serious mental health consequences. Worldwide stay-at-home directives and emergency changes in healthcare policy and reimbursement have smoothed the trail for broad implementation of technology-based remote mental health services for children. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is particularly well-positioned to address some of the most pressing child and parental needs that arise during stressful times, and telehealth formats of PCIT, such as Internet-delivered PCIT (iPCIT), have already been supported in controlled trials. This commentary explores PCIT implementation during the COVID-19 public health crisis and the challenges encountered in the move toward Internet-delivered services.
