title: Parent-child interaction therapy as a family-oriented approach to behavioral management following pediatric traumatic brain injury: a case report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present a case study illustrating the application of parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) for management of a child's externalizing behaviors related to a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).
  
  
  METHODS
  An 11-year-old boy's history and injury are described, followed by a description of PCIT and the course of therapy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After 9 sessions of PCIT, the child displayed fewer negative behaviors, and his mother's distress was reduced.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case demonstrates the feasibility of using PCIT with a child older than the recommended age range to address behavior problems associated with TBI.
