WHAT IS FILAL THERAPY
Filial therapy is a psycho-educational approach combining play and family therapy.
Filial Therapy applied in our center aims to strengthen the communication between families and children by playing games together.
Filial therapy is a developmental play therapy approach that helps children ages 3-11 and their families.
Used with children with emotional, behavioral and developmental difficulties.
Parents are very important for children. Changes are often more effective and long-lasting when parents are involved in the therapy process. Families understand how to use play to understand their children in Filial therapy. This knowledge guides them on how to treat their children.
Filial therapy is an approach that directly strengthens the parent-child relationship and all members of the family benefit from this approach.
Using the game in the process of revealing children’s feelings and solving their problems is a factor that provides comfort and change for every member of the family.
This pleasurable process can also positively affect marriages. As parents, the problems with their children and the parents who spend a lot of energy to solve these problems get tired and this can negatively affect the communication between the spouses. Reducing the problems that the family has with their child will both increase the quality time they will spend with each other and strengthen communication. By building effective communication skills, previous communication barriers are determined. Communication within the family is strengthened. During and after this whole process, families see their potential in changing their children and have the opportunity to use this potential throughout their lives.
