PCIT in Hong Kong But PCIT in Hong Kong is the end of the story, this is our most recent international training agency. I think it is best to start at the beginning When we started training, these were the questions… What are the barriers to overcome? What training model is most effective? What leads to leads to success? (What is training success?)
What are the barriers to overcome? • Therapists wouldn’t like PCIT because of it’s behavioral theoretical foundation • Therapists wouldn’t like a protocol-driven treatment • Therapists as technicians • Manual/protocol rigid, can’t adjust to change • Non-authentic interactions with clients • Protocol undermines the therapeutic relationship • Protocols rule out clinical judgment, innovation • Therapists would refuse to do 5-minute coding • PCIT was too difficult to learn
What are the barriers to overcome? • Therapist instability • Therapists would get trained, then leave • Organizational instability/commitment • Administrators would not see the value • Agency would accept a new treatment • That ‘Effect Size’ thing
EBPs have ‘medium’ to ‘large’ effect sizes ‘EBP treatment works’ Specific tx better than broad-based tx Tx effect sustains over time This is really a good thing… right? Well, yes, except these are mostly university-based treatment outcome studies (including PCIT) ES in community MH clinics are not as good Estimating the Effect Size:X4 meta-analyses on child therapy
What do we need to do to effectively train? Successful training = adherence to protocol + fidelity (Competence) Good Training Model Good Trainers/Training Committed Trainees Ongoing Relationship Agency Support $

Issues and Key Learning from the Project • Extra-counseling sessions (eg. Telephone counseling & home visit) are provided for individual mental health problems and family crisis to avoid non-attendance and attrition rate. • Liaison with school professionals to facilitate the case progress. • Regular professional meetings to enhance treatment integrity and PCIT skill mastery. • Ongoing staff-training to enhance staff competencies.
Future Development of PCIT Project at TWGHs • Train of Trainer (TOT) scheme to respond to the increased number of referrals. • Provide PCIT training to pre-school & primary teachers. • Expand services to different child clinical problems. • Conduct research on the project.
