In Group Filial Therapy (GFT), therapists train parents to conduct
play sessions with their own children to help meet children's
therapeutic needs, and to transfer appropriate skills to family
life. Based on parents' application of Child-Centred Play Therapy,
taught and supervised by filial therapists, this evidence-based
method is highly effective for working with families from diverse
backgrounds and locations. This book provides an accessible guide
to the theory and practice of GFT, and for the first time offers
step-by-step guidelines for implementing the GFT program developed
by Dr Guerney, the co-creator of Filial Therapy. Important
practical considerations are addressed by Dr Guerney and Dr Ryan,
such as how to determine the composition of groups and the duration
of programs, and how to conduct Filial Therapy intakes. The
facilitative attitudes and skills needed to be an effective Filial
Therapy group leader are also described, and comprehensive
instructions for implementing Dr Guerney's 20-week model of GFT are
provided. The book closes with examples of how the program may be
adapted to meet the needs of special groups. Replete with examples
and dialogues bringing to life the group process, this definitive
guide will enable therapists already familiar with the method, as
well as those wishing to learn it, to maximise the fulfilment of
therapeutic goals for participating families. Practitioners in
mental health, social services and counselling, as well as
parenting experts, play and filial therapists and therapists in
training will find that this book expands and enriches the services
they can offer their clients.
