ABSTRACT

The Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) Protocol for ages 3–10 is an evidence-based protocol intended for use by mental health professionals trained and certified in the CPRT model. The CPRT Therapist Protocol is organized by sessions and contains all materials required to conduct the 10-session CPRT model, including Treatment Outlines for Sessions 1–10 and all corresponding parent handouts, homework, and parent worksheets. Downloading and printing the Therapist Protocol for Ages 3–10 from the Companion Website allows for ease of reproduction and correct pagination. Therapists can easily print new protocols as needed. The CPRT protocol is designed to be flexible to adapt the training to the unique needs of parents and children. Although designed for use with groups of parents, the materials are also easily adapted for use with individual parents and couples. As with any treatment/intervention, therapists are expected to exercise clinical judgment in the use of materials and procedures.
