Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP)
Child –Parent Psychotherapy integrates psychodynamic, attachment, trauma, cognitive-behavioral, and social-learning theories into a dyadic treatment approach designed to restore the child-parent relationship and the child’s mental health and developmental progression that have been damaged by the experience of family violence. Child-parent interactions are the focus of the intervention. The goals are to address issues of safety, improve affect regulation, improve the child-caregiver relationship, normalize trauma related response, allow the parent and child to joint construct a trauma narrative, and return the child to a normal developmental trajectory. The intervention runs for 50 weeks and can be conducted in the office or in the home.
