The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects and feasibility of a shortened version of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), supplemented with video vignettes of parenting skills and 360-virtual reality (VR)-films for parents of children aged 2-7 years with disruptive behavior problems. The main questions the study aims to answer, using a Single-Case Experimental Design, are: 1. How feasible and acceptable is the implementation of brief PCIT-VR in Sweden? 2. What are the preliminary effects of brief PCIT-VR? 3. How do parents and clinicians experience brief PCIT-VR? Families at child and adolescent psychiatry clinics will receive up to 10 PCIT sessions. Caregivers complete quantitative assessments before, during, after treatment, and at 6-months follow-up, and are asked to participate in interviews after PCIT. Feasibility and acceptability of brief PCIT VR is evaluated, as well as effectiveness outcomes, including changes in child disruptive behavior and parenting skills. Within-group analyses will examine trends in outcome measures over time.
