In this second episode, Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) experts, Dr. Kate Gibson and Dr. Corey Lineman, provide an in-depth discussion on the PCIT protocol for older children (mid-elementary to late elementary age). They explain how specific techniques are gradually introduced to shape behavior, using rewards to keep children invested in the therapeutic process. A range of topics are covered, from the essential role of rapport building to breaking down the reinforcement systems and the structure of timeout protocols. Throughout the episode, the importance of creating a positive environment and rewards system to motivate the child's cooperation and progress in therapy, are emphasized. The video also offers resources for professionals interested in implementing the PCIT protocol.
