Filial Therapy - Strengthening Parent-Child Relationship Through Play

Filial Therapy can be an extremely useful tool in helping children and families overcome or prevent problems and lead to closer, more cohesive relationships. This form of therapy was developed during the 1960s by Dr. Louise Guerney and Dr. Bernard Guerney as a treatment for children with social, emotional, and behavioral problems. Filial Therapy has received increasing recognition by clinical and research communities as an effective approach to strengthening parent, child, and family relationships. In Filial Therapy, parents learn play therapy techniques to help support positive changes within the home. Filial Therapy is most frequently used with children  3 - 12 years old and is a limited time based therapy, usually lasting between 10 to 16 sessions.
