Experimental Treatment
Group I: Episodic Future ThinkingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Mothers will receive episodic future thinking (EFT). Mothers will meet with a "peer mother" who will administer the EFT intervention, including generation of several specific future events reflecting positive interactions with their child. We will also teach each parent a behavioral parent training element called Special Play Time. Following this session, mothers will receive daily text messages over the course of two weeks including a reminder cue generated as part of the EFT and a prompt to remember these episodes in vivid detail.
