Child Parent Psychotherapy

Dr. Andrew Gerber and Dr. Catherine Monk

Dr. Elizabeth FItelson, Director of the Women's Program will be the moderator

We will discuss Child Parent Psychotherapy, an evidenced based treatment for dyads, a mother and her young child, generally ages 3-5. It has been shown to be effective in helping mothers and their children when they have experienced significant life trauma, often domestic violence. We have a RCT research project at PI establishing this treatment at PI as a research study. 

We will discuss more specifically the approaches of this treatment, what mothers and children are dealing with when they have gone thorugh this kind of trauma.
