Parent-Child Interaction Therapy for Young Children and Caregivers

Improvements in Caregiver-Reported Behavior with ECBI

In a recent sample of NC children ages 2.5 – 6 who were receiving Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for behavioral and/or emotional difficulties, the following outcomes were achieved.

Using the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI), caregivers reported significant improvements in the frequency and severity of children’s problem behaviors, as seen in the following graphs.

Bar chart titled 'ECBI: Pre-Post Treatment Mean Score' comparing pre-treatment and post-treatment mean scores for ECBI Intensity Scale and Problem Scale scores. Pre-treatment scores (darker green) are higher than post-treatment scores (lighter green) in both categories. The Intensity Scale score decreased from 146 to 86.5, while the Problem Scale score decreased from 17 to 5.69. Both decreases are statistically significant (** p < .01).
