In this episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, I cover the goals of filial therapy. I'm focusing primarily on the Child-Parent Relationship Training (CPRT) model. Facilitators need to understand the importance of these goals for parents, children, and the therapist. For parents, the goals of filial therapy include gaining tools, knowledge, and a new way of interacting with their children, ultimately leading to a stronger parent-child relationship. Children, on the other hand, benefit from learning to self-regulate, behaving in more self-enhancing ways, and feeling validated and understood by their parents. As therapists, our goals involve serving as liaisons between parents and children, facilitating connection, and providing a framework for effective parenting. Ultimately, CPRT offers a foundation for parenting and a deeper understanding of children's emotions and behaviors, fostering stronger family dynamics. If you're considering integrating filial therapy into your practice, understanding these goals is important for success in your work with the family.
