This workshop will teach participants how to actively engage parents/carers as partners in play in the therapeutic process.

The workshop focuses on Bratton and Landreth’s (2006) evidence-based Child Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT). Learning CPRT will allow students to teach parents/carers filial play therapy, a form of play therapy in which parents learn to be therapeutic agents

with their children.

Literature regarding brain development and healthy relationships between caretakers and children will also be explored. Suitable for those interested in learning more about how to

work with children and families from a play therapy perspective.
