PCAT, or Parent-Child Attunement Therapy is a modification of P-CIT and is currently being evaluated by UC Davis for treatment effectiveness. It is designed to treat children ages 12 months – 2 years. The typical course of treatment lasts about 8-12 weeks. The goals are: enhance relationship between caregiver and child, decrease symptoms, reduce caregiver’s distress, and increase caregiver’s understanding of child development.
