The Dyadic Parent-Child Interaction Coding System (DPICS) is a newly revised behavioral coding system that measures the quality of parent-child social interactions (Eyberg, Nelson, Duke, & Boggs, 2005). The DPICS was developed by Dr. Sheila Eyberg at the Univeristy of Florida's Department of Clinical and Health Psychology. The Auburn University DPICS Coding Team is comprised of graduate and undergraduate students who have expertise coding parent-child observations with the DPICS. Our coders meet weekly to discuss coding issues. We also assist the new members of our team who are learning the DPICS. Our lab is conducting reliability coding for a project funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The project is currently ongoing at Central Michigan University and the Primary Investigator is Larissa Niec, PhD. For more information regarding the DPICS, please check the Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) website at www.pcit.org or the following manual: Eyberg, S.M., Nelson, M.,M., Duke, M., & Boggs, S.R. (2005). Manual for the Dyadic Parent-Child Interaction Coding System (3rd edition)
