ABSTRACT
Sessions 6 through 9 follow the same general format, with the main focus on supervision of home play sessions; therefore, this section provides a comprehensive overview of the critical elements shared by these four sessions. Each session begins with 10 to 15 minutes of parents’ informal sharing about their week, followed by a discussion of homework assignments and brief reporting by all parents about their play sessions. The therapist provides suggestions and points out CPRT skills demonstrated as parents describe play session happenings, attending carefully to feelings expressed by parents. Greater attention is given to common problems parents are experiencing. The partial transcript included with each training session provides the reader with a dynamic example of group process.
