Brief Description:
Child Parent Psychotherapy for Family Violence (CPP-FV) has been rated by the CEBC in the areas of Domestic/Intimate Partner Violence: Services for Women Victims and their Children and Trauma Treatment for Children. CCP-FV is a psychotherapy model that integrates psychodynamic, attachment, trauma, cognitive-behavioral, and social-learning theories into a dyadic treatment approach designed to restore the child-parent relationship and the child's mental health and developmental progression that have been damaged by the experience of domestic violence. Child-parent interactions are the focus of six intervention modalities aimed at restoring a sense of mastery, security, and growth and promoting congruence between bodily sensations, feelings, and thinking on the part of both child and parent and in their relationship with one another.
