Abstract: Parent-Child Interaction Therapy is a probably efficacious, evidenced-based\ntreatment, which has been proven to decrease problem behaviors of children, as well as\nimprove parent-child interactions. The first phase is the Child-Directed Interaction (CDI),\nwhich allows the child to lead the play session, while parents are taught to interact\nwithout giving demands, asking questions, or providing criticism. According to the\nDSM-IV-TR, Reactive Attachment Disorder is a rare diagnosis. Many attachment\ntherapists indicate that traditional approaches to treatment have not been demonstrated as\nbeing effective with these children. This study will examine the CDI phase of Parent-\nChild Interaction Therapy as a potential treatment option for children diagnosed with\nReactive Attachment Disorder.
