Parent-Child Research Clinic

Parent-Child Research Clinic A Sydney-based psychology clinic offering state-of-the-art treatments to parents of young children with challenging behaviours

The most common child conduct problems we see at our clinic are oppositional behaviour, defiance, aggression towards people and/or animals like hitting and biting, temper tantrums, arguing, and not following directions. We specialise in working with children and families who have failed to benefit from other treatment programs. The programs we offer are strongly guided by what science tells us works. As a research clinic we are committed to ensuring that the cutting-edge treatments we provide best meet the individual needs of our families. Our clinical research aims to provide better treatments to families struggling with their young children’s behaviour problems. The Parent-Child Research Clinic is directed by Dr Eva Kimonis who is a Clinical Psychologist and Professor at the University of New South Wales located in Sydney, Australia.

Congratulations UNSW PCRC team!

Ground-breaking Enhanced Parent-Child Interaction Therapy gives treatment hope for children with callous-unemotional traits with long-term, sustained improvements.

“This is the first trial that takes this group of kids and says, ‘we can make things better for them and keep them off that pathway down the track’.”

It’s the first clinic of its kind: purpose-built on primary school grounds to deliver a new therapy for children who display “callous unemotional traits”, a set of characteristics that can be an early warning sign for psychopathy.
