PCIT For
Traumatized Children
This year's 10th
Annual Conference on Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for
Traumatized Children was a huge success! A big thanks to our conference
planners, presenters, and all the dedicated PCIT therapists who
traveled from all over the nation to attend the event! Recent research
has shown that PCIT can be a valuable addition to the treatment of
young traumatized children.
Keynote Speaker
Our keynote
speaker this year was Shannon Dorsey, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist and
Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral
Sciences at the University of Washington. Dr. Dorsey's research
interests and clinical expertise are in evidence-based treatment for
children and adolescents, particularly those with a significant
parenting/caregiver component. Within this broad area, she has focused
on interventions for trauma-exposed youth and the application of
interventions to youth in out-of-home placements - such as foster care
and therapeutic foster care. Dr. Dorsey has expertise in Parent-Child
Interaction Therapy and helping the noncompliant child.
