Abstract

This study explores Black caregivers' perceptions of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) to understand how cultural values, parenting stress, and beliefs about child behavior influence therapy engagement. By examining these factors through in-depth caregiver interviews, the study aims to inform PCIT adaptations, enhancing its effectiveness and accessibility for Black families.
