Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) is an intervention model for children ages birth to 6 years who experienced at least one traumatic event and are expressing mental health, attachment, and/or behavioral problems as a result. The treatment model 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 progress.
