Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP)
Child-Parent Psychotherapy is an intervention model for young children who have experienced at least one traumatic event and/or are experiencing mental health, attachment, and/or behavioral problems, including post-traumatic stress disorder.
About This Program
The primary goal of Child-Parent Psychotherapy is to support and strengthen the relationship between a child and their caregiver as a vehicle for restoring the child’s cognitive, behavioral, and social functioning.
The treatment is based on attachment theory but also integrates psychodynamic, developmental, trauma, social learning, and cognitive behavioral theories.
What Can You Expect as the Caregiver?
Caregivers should anticipate participating in sessions weekly. The components that will be focused on are safety, affect regulation, relational reciprocity, and continuity of daily living. There is also a focus on processing trauma. Sessions are often play-based, as play is the language children use to learn!
