Filial Therapy is a treatment approach developed by Bernard and Louise Guerney, in which parents learn the basic skills of play therapy and conduct therapeutic play sessions with their children.
How does it work?
What makes Filial Therapy special?
The people with the greatest influence in a child's life are their parents. When parents are equipped with therapeutic skills, they can create healing relationships every day at home, beyond the counseling room. This not only supports the child's emotional stability but also deepens the entire parent-child relationship.
