“Play Therapy is an approach to communicating therapeutically with clients using toys, art materials, games, and other play media, giving clients a safe and nurturing relationship in which they can explore and express feelings, gain insight into their own motivation and into their interaction with others, and learn and practice socially appropriate behaviors”  (Kottman, 2001, Landreth, 1991, Thompson & Rudolph, 2000).  Filial Family Therapy is where parents become the primary agents of change as they learn to conduct child centered play with their children in the home environment.  It is based on the assumption that the parents are the most significant adults in the child’s life and have a greater impact than any therapist could.  When parents learn more effective ways of relating to their children, positive results are likely to be more profound and longer lasting.  This workshop will teach the basic principles of Filial Family Therapy to enable parents to help the therapeutic process at home.
