Outcomes of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for families presenting with child maltreatment: A systematic review.

Clinicians should consider PCIT as a potential treatment for children who have experienced trauma and their families. Future research should incorporate corroborative sources of information, assessment of caregiver and child trauma symptoms, examination of permanency outcomes, and consider standardization of PCIT modifications for child trauma to determine treatment in this population of children.
