There is much to admire in this report of an adaptation of parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) used to treat a uniquely complex case involving comorbid reactive attachment and oppositional defiant disorders. One the one hand, the paper reflects the remarkable potency and flexibility of PCIT. On the other hand, it reflects the clinical acumen and interpersonal dexterity of the clinicians who reported the case. We will discuss both of these aspects below....

Research on parent–child interaction has described how parents manage child compliance. Less attention has been paid to the resources leveraged by children in this tug-of-war. On the other hand, without any specific focus on children, scholars with an interest in discourse and emotion have begun systematic investigations of crying. Using the methodology of conversation analysis, we focus on a 5-minute crying episode from a video-recorded dinner event that involves a 3-year-old girl and her parents. In particular, we describe how crying is deftly deployed by the child to successfully renegotiate what has initially been pronounced a done deal.

This study aimed to investigate language socialization of affect in Mandarin parent-child interaction. Natural conversations between Mandarin-speaking two-year-olds and their parents were analyzed, focusing on the lexicon of affect words and the conversational interactions in which these words were used. The results showed that the children tended to use the type of affect words which encoded specific affective states, with the children as the primary experiencers. The parents, on the other hand, tended to use affect words not only to encode affective states but also to express evaluative characterizations. They often used affect words to negotiate with the children the appropriate affective responses to a variety of stimuli or to socialize the children’s behaviors into culturally approved patterns. In addition, it was found that the structure of conversational sequences served as a discourse-level resource for the socialization of affect. The findings were further discussed in relation to Clancy’s (1999) model of language socialization of affect.

Abstract. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based intervention designed for families of 2- to 6-year-old children with disruptive behavior disorders. This article illustrates the application of PCIT in a 10-year-old boy with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). Both parents and the patient attended PCIT sessions. The course of therapy included minor changes to the PCIT protocol. After 13 PCIT sessions, the patient displayed disruptive behaviors within normal limits, and 12 months later he no longer met diagnostic criteria for ODD. Results remained stable at a 17-month follow-up assessment. This case study suggests that the use of PCIT in families of children with ODD markedly older than the recommended age range might be a promising approach for improving family functioning and reducing behavior problems. Further research with larger samples of older children with ODD is needed to replicate and elaborate the findings of this case study.

Parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) is a form of behavioral therapy to deal with various behavioral problems in children. It works directly with parents and their home interactions with their children. In this paper the application of PCIT to a seven-year-old girl with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and her three-year-old sister with behavioral problems is described. A single-case A-B design with concurrent baseline was used. The positive behaviors and problems were assessed for both young girls using self-monitoring and parent video recordings during playtime and home interactions. The treatment was developed in 12 sessions for 3 months. A progressive evolution was observed in both girls’ baseline and in pre- and post-treatment measures of the problem behaviors. Finally, there was a reduction of stress and an increase in the self-efficacy of the parents’ abilities.
