Abstract:

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) has been delivered over telehealth for more than a decade.  However, since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the use of telehealth for PCIT has increased exponentially.  Practitioners accustomed to in-person PCIT may encounter challenges to transitioning to telehealth, including technology limitations, family barriers to participation, and uncertainty about optimal implementation.  This webinar will briefly review the literature on telehealth PCIT, followed by detailed discussion of best practices for effective clinical practice.  Topics to be addressed include: troubleshooting technology, maintaining treatment fidelity, fostering family engagement, ethical considerations, and trainee supervision.  Participants will learn about resources and helpful guidance to aid telehealth PCIT delivery in practice settings.
