Product Description: The leadership guide is designed to facilitate the training process for filial therapy by providing a comprehensive outline and detailed guidelines for each of the ten sessions. Landreth and his co-authors will provide the structure for the therapy training described in the book, which details child-centered play therapy principles and skills such as reflective listening, recognizing and responding to children's feelings, therapeutic limit setting, building children's self-esteem, and structuring required weekly play sessions with their children using a special kit of selected toys. Landreth and his co-authors will recommend teaching aids, course materials, and activities for each session, as well as worksheets for parents to complete between sessions. Filial therapy leaders will have a complete package for use training parents to act as therapeutic agents with their own children.
So simple you wonder why you didn't think of it! This manual has absolutely everything you need to teach CPRT to parents (with the exception I guess of the actual toys). The CD provided makes it so simple--just pop it in your computer and print off what you need. Some of the files are in Word so you can modify them to fit your specific needs. As a beginning counselor, new to leading psycho/educational groups, this manual was a life saver! If you work with parents and want to help them strengthen their relationships with their children, and you understand and believe in Child Centered theory, I highly recommend this program.
excellent resource an excellent resource for mental health workers wanting to help parents connect with their children. An easy ten session model that is accompanied with handouts and other resources.
