Description

Group Filial Therapy: A Comprehensive Guide to Teaching Parents to Play Therapeutically with Their Children This evidence-based method is highly effective for working with families from diverse backgrounds and locations. Group Filial Therapy (GFT) trains parents to conduct play sessions with their own children, helping them meet therapeutic needs and transfer skills to family life. The book provides an accessible guide to the theory and practice of GFT, including step-by-step guidelines for implementing a 20-week program developed by Dr Guerney. It addresses practical considerations such as group composition and duration, intake processes, and facilitative attitudes needed to lead effective groups. With examples and dialogues illustrating the group process, this book is ideal for therapists, parenting experts, and play/filial therapists looking to expand their services. Suitable for mental health professionals, social services staff, counsellors, and those in training, Group Filial Therapy offers a valuable resource for maximising therapeutic goals for participating families.
