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

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.
