HISTORY BEHIND VERVE:
VERVE is an ‘interactionalist ‘approach initially based on a model of therapy called Parent Child Interaction.
It has many things in common with other excellent interaction approaches such as PACT, Palin PCI, Hanen, Intensive interaction, VIG, TDI, SCERTS (to name but a few).
VERVE, Video PCI *, Palin PCI and PACT all use unedited weekly video feedback to parents.
How does VERVE differ from other PCI Approaches:
VERVE uses video in every session in order to show the developing skills of each child. It always consists of a process of therapy i.e a minimum of four sessions. Each session is specific to the individual child and builds on the last.
VERVE's focus is on supporting children in managing their underlying ability to stay calm in order to develop their own general development, face watching, learning and communication.
VERVE's key focus in supporting parents and adults is through using their proximity, silence, and feedback
