Although parental compliance with court orders in child welfare cases is key to achieving physical parent‐child reunification and successful case closure, little research has examined how parent‐child relationship‐focused rehabilitative services uniquely influence case outcomes. This project fills this gap by investigating links between court ordering of and parental participation in Child‐Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) with court outcomes. Data were obtained from court records of 448 court‐involved parents. Hierarchical regressions revealed that greater participation in CPP led to reunification and successful case closure but not faster case closure. Courtroom professionals should consider parent‐child relationship‐based therapies as tools for achieving child welfare goals.

儿童父母心理治疗对儿童抚养法庭结果的影响

尽管父母在儿童福利案件中遵守法院命令是实现父母与子女团聚并成功结案的关键，但是很少有研究检查以父母与子女关系为中心的康复服务如何独特地影响案件结果。该项目通过调查法院命令与父母参与儿童父母心理治疗（CPP）与法院结果之间的联系来填补这一空白。数据是从448名法院涉案父母的法院记录中获得的。层次回归显示，更多地参与CPP导致统一和成功结案，但结案速度却不快。法庭专业人员应将基于亲子关系的疗法视为实现儿童福利目标的工具。
