Abstract
This project provides a comprehensive review of the academic literature available on
filial therapy (FT) and concludes by offering a facilitators’ manual composed of eight
lesson plans to implement FT in a group therapy approach. FT, a derivative of childcentred
play therapy (Kolos, Green, & Crenshaw, 2009), is a counselling intervention in
which a counsellor trains parents or other caregivers to hold at-home, child-centred play
sessions with the child, with the goal to enhance and strengthen the parent–child
relationship (Landreth, 2002; VanFleet, 2005). Since FT is recently gaining popularity
and increased usage in the counselling realm, counsellors may seek to augment their
clinical experience and knowledge of FT. The intent of this project is to increase
awareness of the FT intervention and to provide a group counselling manual in the area
of FT.
