Book Description

Publication Date: November 18, 2005 | ISBN-10: 0415951100 | ISBN-13: 978-0415951104

This book offers a survey of the historical and theoretical development of the filial therapy approach and presents an overview of filial therapy training and then filial therapy processes. The book also includes a transcript of an actual session, answers to common questions raised by parents, children, and therapists, as well as additional resources and research summaries. Additional chapters address filial therapy with special populations, filial therapy in special settings, and perhaps the most useful resource for busy therapists and parents, a chapter covers variations of the 10 session model, to allow for work with individual parents, training via telephone, and time-intensive or time-extended schedules.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Winner - Best Practices in Parent/Family Education Award for 2010 from the Texas Association of Parent Educators

"This book provides a wealth of detailed and helpful information about the process and practice of filial therapy. It is likely to prove an invaluable guide to all practicing and aspiring filial therapists." - The British Association of Play Therapists

"This is a well thought out, well laid out, understandable, short-term treatment program. In addition to providing the basics, Landreth and Bratton communicate their own empirically justified and clinically experienced trust in the method to deal with all sorts of parent-child problems. All of this comes through in a highly personal way that makes the book inspiring as well as instructional." - Louise Guerney, Professor Emeritus, Penn State University, College Park, USA

This review is from: CPRT Package: Child Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT): A 10-Session Filial Therapy Model (Hardcover)

Dr. Landreth and Ms. Bratton have compiled decades of research, experience and practice into an outstanding book that enables any therapist (willing to devote the time necessary to learn and practice these practical skills) to teach parents to do play therapy with their own children. CPRT can help parents to step back and relax and enjoy their children, all the while encouraging their children towards positive self-esteem, decision-making, self control, boundaries, and so much more; not to mention a closer relationship between parent and child. Thank you, Dr. Landreth & Sue Bratton for enhancing what I do in my counseling! I see myself being available to women's shelters, as a resource to daycares and elementary school counselors, and churches. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
