Questions Parents and Children Ask, and Problems and Solutions in CPRT Training

Therapists who plan to use filial therapy need to be prepared to answer questions parents may ask about filial therapy training. Anticipating many of these questions and responding to them in the intake interview or during the first filial therapy training session can help alleviate parents’ confusion and anxiety, thus helping parents to relax, feel more secure about the training, make a commitment to the process, and more readily engage in the process of learning new skills.
