PCIT's conjoint effect on child conduct problems and psychosocial competencies (i.e., prosociality, compliance, attention) was examined with 15 caregiver-child dyads (Mage = 4.9; SD = 1.2) who completed at least one phase of PCIT's standard protocol. Caregiver-rated child competencies (Psychosocial Strengths Inventory for Children and Adolescents; PSICA) and conduct problems (Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory; ECBI) were assessed pre-, mid-, and post-treatment. PSICA and ECBI scores correlated negatively across all timepoints (r/ρs = −25, −.64, −.58), and child conduct problems and psychosocial competence (overall and domain-specific) significantly improved during PCIT (ηsp2 =.48–.93) and each phase (|d|s = 0.63–1.23).
