maltreatment are particularly vulnerable towards child abuse and developing mental and physical health issues.

parent child interaction therapy (PCIT)) is one of those interventions which can address these vulnerabilities by improving parent to child relation and interaction, primarily improving parenting skills and helping parents cope with their parenting stress and child's behavioral problems.

PCIT is empirically validated to decrease parenting stress, couple conflict and enhance parent child interaction, resulting in better coping skills while parenting for a child with disability.

In Pakistan mostly parents are bringing their children to clinic without any support from government therefore it is not possible for everyone to get daily based therapeutic intervention.

The area of Parent-child Interaction Therapy and the acceptance of these treatments are new and emerging in Pakistani Health Care, apart from above; this research will also assist in identifying further areas of research.
