The Parent Development Interview (PDI; Slade et al., 2004) is a semi-structured clinical interview that invites parents to describe their child, themselves as parents, and the parent-child relationship. It has been validated across a number of samples and has been used widely in research across the US and Western Europe. In this first of two webinars, we will introduce the PDI and describe its use as a measure of parental reflective functioning or mentalizing. We will use transcripts from a broad range of parents to examine the following questions: To what extent are they able to envision their child's thoughts and feelings? How are their experiences of the child disrupted by their own defenses and struggles to reflect? This training will address competencies required for ITMHCA Endorsement for Culturally Sensitive, Relationship Focused Practice Promoting Infant Mental Health.

This webinar is the second in a two-part series on The Parent Development Interview (PDI; Slade et al., 2004). In this session, we will explore the clinical uses of the PDI. In what clinical situations can the PDI be useful? At what point in treatment can it be administered? What are its potential uses in guiding treatment? How can it be useful in identifying areas of concern? How can it be useful in identifying areas of strength and ports of entry? How can it be used to build a cooperation and collaboration between parent and clinician? We will use transcripts and case illustrations to explore these questions. This training will address competencies required for ITMHCA Endorsement for Culturally Sensitive, Relationship Focused Practice Promoting Infant Mental Health.
