Filial Family Therapy Workshop
The purpose of this two-day training program is to provide participants who have had previous
training in Child-Centered Play Therapy with a
comprehensive introduction to the Filial Family
Therapy Model and to teach participants the principles and techniques for conducting all
aspects of Filial Family Therapy (FFT), from intake through termination. The workshop
emphasizes the building of participants' therapeutic skills through the use of lecture, video
examples, and supervised skills training. Participants will practice via role-plays the
methods of training, supervising, and supporting parents as they learn to conduct therapeutic
play sessions with their children. Attention will also be given to the specifics of
organizing and initiating FFT in participants' own settings.
The ratio of participants to workshop leader(s) is kept small so as to ensure ample
opportunity for skills training and individual supervision.
