INTRODUCTION TO FILIAL THERAPY DVD

Description
Filial (parent-child) Therapy is a highly effective intervention integrating family therapy and play therapy to address child and family problems. In this 4-1⁄4 hour DVD workshop, Dr. VanFleet provides an overview of the entire process of Filial Therapy. The DVD shows how to train and supervise parents as they conduct special child-centered play sessions with their own children, and how to incorporate family issues in a mutual problem-solving process that benefits children and parents alike. Filial Therapy has been used successfully with a wide range of child and family problems. The DVD includes footage of parents and children throughout the process (with their permission). The video is accompanied by a training manual.
