Clinical Application of the Crowell Parent-Child Interaction Procedure Training

Click if interested in this Offering

Description

The Crowell Procedure provides a method of assessing caregiver-young child interactions in a clinical setting. The Crowell procedure involves a series of seven episodes including a free play, clean-up, blowing bubbles, two developmentally graded teaching tasks and a brief separation and reunion. The procedure is designed to elicit behaviors that allow the clinician to focus on the relationship between a child and his or her caregiver in a setting that is unstructured enough to allow for “real-life” or spontaneous interactions. Observational assessment of a dyad using the Crowell can be one very helpful component of a larger, comprehensive infant/young child-caregiver relationship assessment that informs dyadic IECMH clinical treatment.
