MARSCHAK INTERACTION METHOD SKILLS TRAINING with Dyadic Emotional Interaction Style scoring (D-EIS)

What?

The Marschak Interaction Method (MIM; Marschak, 1960) is a structured technique for observing and assessing the overall quality and nature of relationships between caregivers and child. It consists of a series of simple tasks designed to elicit interactive behaviors.The MIM takes from 30 to 60 minutes and is usually videotaped. Materials needed to perform the tasks are simple and readily available (such as blocks, squeaky toys, drawing paper). Obs. The copyright for the MIM is owned by the Theraplay Institute (TTI, Chicago).

D-EIS scoring system is a quantitative rating system developed specifically for scoring of the Dyadic Parent-Child MIM (Salo & Mäkelä, 2006; 2010; 2017). It consists of 9 variables rated on a Likert-Type 5-point scale tapping dimensions both from the caregiver and the child’s perspectives: Parental Guidance/Child Co-operation (Structure and Challenge, also scored separately), Engament, Nurture, Playfullness and Parental Representation.

Combined MIM/D-EIS training includes an introduction how, when and why use the MIM with diverse clinical cases including case examples from child psychiatric setting, family guidance centers, somatically/neurologically ill children. Learning also how to use the D-EIS scales may help the clinican in making accurate (more objective) observations, and focusing on strenghts and difficulties in separate interaction dimensions. It may also help in Theraplay® treatment planning, assesment (relational ’diagnostics’) as well as monitoring change (pre- and post treatment evaluations). The principles of Reflective Video Feedback (RVF) – based on the parental mentalizing theory – are also presented in the training.  Motivating parents to understand their interactive patterns with their children may help in creating new ways of relating.

Objectives:

The learning objectives of the 4 six hours training (Central European Time 11-17) training are:

  • To present background developmental psychollogical theory for D-EIS scoring dimensions covering attachment, emotional regulation and parenting theories
  • Knowledge of how to administer/interpret the MIM using the D-EIS scoring with clinical training examples covering a wide range of examples of different emotional styles, and scoring points (also a discussion of potential contraindications)
  • Participant will learn: How to use the D-EIS manual for scoring
  • Introduction to Reflective Video Feedback, i.e., how to discuss the results with the parents using a short, video based intervention.

Materials provided:

Course materials are sent to participants as Dropbox file sharing link 3 weeks before the course starts.

  • DEIS manual (Salo & Mäkelä, 2006; 2010; 2017) + scoring sheets
  • MIM interview for Parents
  • Reflective materials for the parent feedback
  • Handouts from the slides
  • Prereading articles

Who should attend?

This online training is designed for clinicians who wish to learn more about the MIM and using a structured assessment scale developed for the MIM to observe strengths and weaknesses in parent-child relationships for purposes of both assesment as well as treatment planning (goal setting) and follow-up (effectiveness)
