Abstract
Parents’ adjustment to pediatric cancer can contribute to children’s disruptive behaviors. Caregivers often report challenges disciplining their child throughout/following pediatric cancer treatment. Parent–Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) can reduce children’s disruptive behaviors and improve caregiver self-efficacy. One previous case study examined PCIT viability for a child undergoing cancer treatment; however, no study has evaluated PCIT for a child in remission. We explored PCIT implementation for a 6-year-old Hispanic male acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivor and his Hispanic mother. PCIT effectively mitigated the child’s disruptive behavior. We review steps necessary to promote mother’s engagement and skill acquisition and discuss future PCIT implementation directions.
