It provides everything that the therapist and parent need to know to carry out their respective CPRT roles effectively."-Louise Guerney, Director of Play and Filial Family Training, National Institute of Relationship Enhancement, Maryland, USA "The detailed Therapist and Parents Notebooks allow the therapist easy implementation of the treatment protocol. The parent handouts are specific and clear. The CD-Rom provides the therapist quick access to professional quality materials. This manual and the text provide the play therapy field with a thorough and detailed CPRT protocol. The field and those we serve are richer for it." -Linda E.

Homeyer, Associate Professor of Professional Counseling at Texas State University, San Marcos, USA "The authors present all information for therapists clearly, thoroughly, and in a well-organized manner. In addition, the detailed study guide section offers metaphors to enliven material, encouragement to model skills that are taught, guidance for optimizing group dynamics within sessions, and ways to display empathy toward parents. Another major asset of theCPRT Treatment Manual is the amount and quality of the material for distribution to parents. These attactively designed materials are written in accessible language for parents, share the rationale behind the techniques, and present skills in a gradual and structured fashion to ease implementation. In sum, those clinicians who have experience with filial therapy and those who want to use this treatment approach will find this treatment manual to be extremely helpful. The authors are well-regarded experts in this area; they adeptly share their scholarly knowledge and clinical wisdon in this accessible and practical book." - Steven A.
