Treatment/Procedure: Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP)

Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) is an evidence-based treatment for young children ages 0-5 who have experienced traumatic stress and, as a result, are experiencing behavioral, attachment, and/or mental health problems including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

The primary goal of CPP is to support and to strengthen the relationship between a child and his or her caregiver as a vehicle for restoring the child’s sense of safety, attachment, and appropriate affect, as well as improving the child’s cognitive, behavioral, and social functioning.  The main components of CPP include psychoeducation of trauma and child development, behavioral management, enhancing safety, affective regulation, enhancement of the child-parent relationship, trauma processing, and continuity of daily living.
