Ulas, Sumeyye, Secer, Ismail, Victory, Erinn J., McNeil, Cheryl B.
This study assessed the impact of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) on caregiver and child outcomes in T & uuml;rkiye using a non-concurrent multiple baseline design (N = 3). Improvements in child disruptive behavior frequency were observed, with a large effect across participants (Tau-U = -0.74) and perceived problematic child behaviors (Tau-U = -0.87). School refusal, anxiety symptoms, and child emotion regulation improved with reliable change indices indicating clinically significant improvements (>1.96). Clinically significant decreases (RCI >1.96) in parenting stress and parent emotion regulation difficulties were also observed. Parents demonstrated improvements in parenting skills, as outlined by the PCIT protocol. This study highlights PCIT's efficacy within a novel cultural context.
