"A novel form of parent-child interactive therapy (PCIT-ED) is effective in treating preschool depression. Fifty-seven percent of children who participated in a trial of PCIT-ED were in remission four years later. The best outcomes were achieved by children who responded well to the initial psychotherapy. The presence of an externalizing disorder was associated with lower rates of remission. Specifically, they asked whether there was a relationship between the response to the psychotherapeutic intervention and outcomes four years later."
"This therapy is adapted from PCIT, which was designed for externalizing disorders (for example, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder [ ADHD], oppositional defiant disorder [ODD], and conduct disorder). PCIT-ED consists of three modules administered over 18 weeks: six sessions of "child directed interaction (which targets parental warmth and the parent-child relationship)"; six sessions of "parent directed interaction (which targets appropriate parental discipline)"; and eight sessions of "the novel emotional development module" that "includes emotion coaching to help parents and children identify and regulate emotional experiences""
PCIT-ED is a 20-session intervention delivered over 18 weeks in three modules: six sessions of child-directed interaction to increase parental warmth and the parent-child relationship; six sessions of parent-directed interaction to improve appropriate parental discipline; and eight sessions of an emotional development module that includes emotion coaching to help parents and children identify and regulate emotions. In follow-up, 57% of treated preschool children achieved remission four years later. Children who responded well to the initial psychotherapy showed the best long-term outcomes. Co-occurring externalizing disorders correlated with lower remission rates. PCIT-ED was adapted from PCIT used for externalizing disorders such as ADHD, ODD, and conduct disorder.
