Working with children in therapy nearly always involves working
with parents. However, working with parents can be more challenging
than working with children, and sometimes really daunting. This is
especially true when the parents have been less than understanding
or abusive towards their child. The therapist may feel a strong
loyalty to the child which, if not handled correctly, can put them
in conflict with the parents. This companion volume to "Creative
Therapy: Working with Children and Adolescents" aims to help the
therapist feel more at ease when working with parents or carers,
and find creative ways of forming a good working relationship which
will ultimately equip the parents to help the child overcome
emotional and behavioural difficulties."
Creative Therapy 2: Working with Parents" is a very practical
book which outlines ways of gaining rapport, working with parents
and creating useful resource materials. Example activities,
worksheets and information sheets are provided, covering a wide
range of children's problems and how parents can help them. The
book will be especially useful to newly trained therapists, but
will also appeal to those who are more experienced but who are
looking at different ways of working.
Some of the themes running through the book are creativity,
parental empowerment, positive parenting, using literature and
making therapy fun. All the activities have been developed through
the authors' own clinical work, and all the illustrations,
worksheets and information sheets included in this book are
copyright-free.
