Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to describe the conceptual grounding and content of the evidence-based IY parent and child programs, including research evidence and to discuss the rationale for use of both these programs with families involved with child maltreatment. A brief summary of the methods for working with families involved with child welfare agencies and a case study is provided as well as references to other articles that provide more specific details for how to deliver the parent and child programs with fidelity to this population.
