Study of the Parent's Subjective Experience of Parent-child Psychotherapy.
France20 participantsStarted 2023-09-19
Plain-language summary
The child psychiatric care of children under age of 5 years involves taking care of the child, the parent and their interaction. The investigators know that the parent-child relationship plays a key role in attachment and the mental and cerebral development of the child and many studies have shown that the interaction based psychotherapy allows an improvement in the symptoms of the child. The aim of this qualitative and exploratory study is to evaluate the parent's subjective experience of the parent-child psychotherapeutic treatment, i.e., evaluate their experience of the psychotherapy, their relationship with the therapist and a possible change occurring during the psychotherapy. The analysis will be based on semi-structured interviews that will be carried out with the parents.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
