Introduction

Parent training is an evidence based and highly effective intervention for conduct disorders in children. Traditionally, only the parents participate in behavioral trainings, implementing the new skills in their homes on their own between the appointments. In some cases, this turns out as not intense enough.

Objectives

Therefore, we recently implemented the German version of the PCIT Parent Child Interaction Training in our clinic in Zurich, Switzerland.

Methods

PCIT is an evidence-based and highly effective intervention for children aged 2-7 years with conduct disorders (Zisser & Eyberg, 2010; Briegel, 2016). Parents visit the clinic weekly with their child and are directly supported in their interaction by the therapists. A special treatment room was set up for this intervention.

Results

We will present our first experiences with this approach in the highly international and urban population of Zurich.

Conclusions

Parents appreciate to work with their child while being directly coached by the therapists. Almost all parents achieved considerable progress in their skills and the conduct problems reduced over time.
