Description: By Rise VanFleet

This handbook is intended for child and family therapists to use with parents who are involved in filial (parent-child) play therapy. In filial therapy, the therapist trains and supervises parents as they conduct special play sessions with their own children in order to resolve a wide range of adjustment and mental health difficulties. Filial therapy is a relatively short-term intervention with long-term benefits: 40 years of research consistently have shown it to be effective in facilitating both child and parent change. This handbook is designed to help parents understand the process and answer many of the questions that arise. Included are an overview of the therapy process as well as information for parents at various phases of the therapy. The manual is written simply and understandably and provides a convenient reference for both parent and therapist.
