Characterizing beneficial change in parent attributions over the course of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy: Dosage in phase of treatment matters / Kate KWASNESKI in Development and Psychopathology, 37-5 (December 2025)

The present study investigates parent attributions in the context of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) in child-welfare involved families. PCIT has two treatment phases, the first of which focuses on fostering a warm parent-child relationship and the second of which provides parents a positive discipline framework. This study characterizes individual differences in stability and change in parent attributions over the course of the intervention. It explores the impact of family treatment dosage on parent attributions as well as the impact of parent attributions on positive parenting skills outcomes. In a sample of 149 families involved with the child-welfare system (children aged 3-7, 59% nonwhite, 11% Hispanic, 50% female), multinomial logistic regression analyses and ANCOVAs were used. Results showed that engaging in additional treatment sessions increased the odds of parent attributions about their child increasing in warmth. Additionally, parents whose positive attributions of their child increased over time used more positive parenting behaviors in a cleanup task at posttreatment. These findings demonstrate that parent attributions about their child play an important role in behavioral parent training interventions. Future research should investigate how to leverage parent attributions to improve family treatment outcomes.

Effects of parent–child interaction therapy dosage on child and parent outcomes: differentiating child-directed interaction and parent-directed interaction session impacts in child welfare-involved families / Xiaolan LIAO in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 67-8 (August 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 67-8 (August 2026) . - p.1224-1243 Titre : Effects of parent–child interaction therapy dosage on child and parent outcomes: differentiating child-directed interaction and parent-directed interaction session impacts in child welfare-involved families Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Xiaolan LIAO, Auteur ; Julia P. RUGGIERO, Auteur ; David E. BARD, Auteur ; Adon F.G. ROSEN, Auteur ; Elizabeth A. SKOWRON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1224-1243 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : PCIT  treatment dosage  parenting  child welfare  RCT Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Parent?child interaction therapy (PCIT) improves parenting and child behavior, yet little is known about how dosage of its two phases, warm relationship building focused child-directed interaction (CDI) sessions and safe, effective discipline skills-focused parent-directed interaction (PDI) sessions, contributes to outcomes, particularly in child welfare-involved families. Understanding these dose?response patterns can clarify the pathways through which PCIT produces change. Methods In a sample of 204 child welfare families with young children, we examined the dose?response relationship between each PCIT phase and key intervention outcomes of positive and negative parenting skills and disruptive child behavior problems. We also used sequential mediation models to test time-ordered intervention dosage effects (i.e., number of CDI sessions completed and subsequent number of PDI sessions completed) on the parent and child outcomes. Results Sequential mediation models showed that the PCIT intervention exerted significant indirect effects on increased positive parenting skills and decreased negative parenting behaviors and child behavior problems through higher dosage of relationship-enhancing CDI sessions followed by higher dosage of safe discipline-focused PDI sessions. Further, CDI dosage interacted with PDI dosage to predict greater gains in positive parenting skills outcomes. Conclusions These results contribute new insights into the pathways through which PCIT shapes outcomes in a sample of child welfare-involved families. Findings also highlight the significant unique contribution that limit-setting-oriented PDI, a relatively understudied phase of PCIT, plays in enhancing positive parenting skills and mitigating child behavior problems.
